PREFACE 



PREFACE 



The information contained in this publication is compiled from 
official sources where official records and documents could be obtained. 
In other respects the most reliable unofficial data has been used. Be- 
ing a publication by the state, it is intended that it should be impart- 
ial and unprejudiced. In formation concerning political parties and 
their organization has been obtained from the authorized party offic- 
ials. Effort has been made to avoid giving prepondating importance 
to one party over another and where such information is meager or 
incomplete, it is because no better could be obtained at the time of 
publication. 

In giving this volume to the public it has been the aim to make 
it a book which will be desired as an addition to the libraries of the 
state because of its real worth. Special attention has been given to 
obtaining and preserving facts and historical matters which were about 
to become lost to the future generations of the state of Oklahoma. 
Owing to the lack of an historical perspective on events in Oklahoma 
since it became a state, the selection of the material used has of course 
been confined to the contemporary, and consequently could be chosen 
with but doubtful regret to historical value. The purpose of the book 
is to give Oklahomans real facts concerning their commonwealth and 
to, at the same time bear a message to the residents of other states 
who may desire to know something of Oklahoma's make-up, political, 
social, economic and historical.

INTRODUCTORY 



INTRODUCTORY 



OKLAHOMA'S STORY 



The story of the contest waged for the opening of the lands of Ok- 
lahoma to white settlement is most interesting. The long fight made 
by the "colonies" for entrance to the forbidden land showed the 
charcater of the men and women who were to become the basic ele- 
ment of the state's citizenship. As the desire for unoccupied lands 
grew, a large army of prospective settlers clamored for the unused 
lands of Indian Territory. These settlers joined forces with the rail- 
roads and together they waged war on the cattle kings of Oklahoma's 
pastoral regime. 

On April 15, 1879, T. C. Sears, an attorney for the M. K. & T., 
railroad announced that there were fourteen million acres of public 
land located here which were subject to homestead entry. This seems 
to have been the original discovery of the "unassigned lands" and 
immediately aroused much interest. Three "colonies" were or- 
ganized. Charles C. Carpenter, a leader of one of the colonies and a 
man who, three years before, had rushed the Black Hills region, cros- 
sed the border with his band May 7, 1879, but was promptly ejected 
by general Wesley Merritt in command of troops of the Fifth Cavalry. 
David L. Payne then came to the front as an organizer -and leader of 
the boomers. Again and again presidential proclamations warned the 
boomers out of the forbidden territory, but as often did Captain Payne 
and his persistent followers return only to be ejected. Much agitation 
of the question of settlement resulted. The sudden death of Captain 
Payne at Wellington, Kas., November 27, 1884, put something of a 
damper on boomer enthusiasm, although the next year Captain Wil- 
liam L. Couch, Payne's lieutenant, led another expedition into what is 
now Payne County. He was forced to withdraw and made a second 
attempt in November of the same year with no better success. 

It was in 1885 that the Santa Fe railroad was built into the Ter- 
ritory from Arkansas City, and the boomers were convinced that Ok- 
lahoma, would soon be opened to settlement by legal proclamation. 
and invasion was given up. 

In the interim from 1885 to 1889, the boomers turned their at- 
tention to "No Man's-Land". When Texas joined the United States 
in 1845, all its territory north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes 
had to be surrendered because, according to the Missouri compromise 
there would be no more slave territory north of that line. By the 
organization of Kansas in 1856 its southern boundary was made thirty- 
seven degrees. This left a strip of land thirty minutes in width from 
the 100th meridian, north of Texas and south of Kansas, long known 
as "No Man's Land." The Indians laid no claim to this region and 
the cattlemen had already taken possession of those limitless prairies, 
now constituting the Pan Handle of Oklahoma or Beaver, Texas and 
Cimarron counties. By the spring of 1887, it was estimated that six 



xviii OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

thousand people had entered this unorganized territory. The region 
had not been surveyed, there was no land office, and titles could not 
be obtained. The settlers, however, organized a claim board and set 
up a government of their own. A convention was held in March, 
1887, and the "'Territory of Cimarron" was organized and a delegate 
elected to Congress. A territory legislature was elected in the fall of 
1887 and it was in session most of the following winter. A full set of 
territorial officers and a new delegate to Congress were chosen in 
November 1888. Here the tnatter ended. The Territory of Cimar- 
ron was forgotten the next year when Oklahoma was opeiied by the 
provisions of a "rider" on the Indian Appropriation Bill and in 1890 
it vi'as made an Oklahoma county. 

President Benjamin F. Harrison issued the proclamation opening 
Oklahoma to settlement April 22, 1889, thus ending the long fight be- 
tween the farmer and the herdman. 

THE OPENING OF OKLAHOMA 

Never was there such a race in the history of the world. 
Since ^^^9 when ttie Fort Smith soldiers ejected the settlers 
on the Kiamitia this had been a forbidden region. 

"For three quarters of a century the tide of migration 
had'surged against this wall. Finally when it gave way, the 
eager settlers hurled themselves upcn the coveted land, as 
did the ancient Israelites upon the fields of Canaan. The 
racers had to cross the Cherokee strip, sixty miles in width, 
in their rush from the Kansas border before they arrived at 
the land open to settlement. The three days preceding the 
opening were allowed for this. Now, women and children 
on horseback and on foot, with buggies, wagons, oxcarts, 
horses and ponies, all gathered on the line as the hour of noon 
approached. The noise and .confusion ceased as the moment 
for the start drew near. With set faces these racers for homes 
closely watched the officer who, with v/atch in hand, awaited 
the appointed moment. Suddenly from the carbines of the 
cavalrymen there came a puff of smoke. The crashing report 
of the guns was drowned in the mighty shout of the waiting 
thousands as they crossed the line. On they went in breath- 
less haste. The solid front shown at the moment of the start 
was soon broken, and the forces of the invading boomers 
seemed rather the wild route of a 'defeated foe than the 
advance of an invading one." 

The majority of the settlers came into the territory from the 
north, but considerable numbers came from the Chickasaw country 
on the south and the Pottawatomie reservation, which joined the open 
district on the east. 

The "rider" which opened Oklahoma to settlement was the hurried 
expedient of an almost defeated contingent. No provision was made 
for a territorial government, and no local laws were in force, but stipu- 
lations were made that town sites could be laid out. In a day, places 
which were but railroad sidings with a water tank, a section house, 
and a name, have become bustling cities, with a population of several 
thousand. 

Provision was made that any person who should enter the new 
country previous to the moment set for the opening would forfeit his 
right to hold land, thus becoming a "sooner". Many quarrels over 
claims and town lots arose. Often there was recourse to arms to 
settle these disputes. In Oklahoma City rival land companies con- 
tended for possession of lots, and a bitter feud raged for months. 



INTRODUCTORY xix 

City governments were at once organized, and wliile tliese had 
no real authority, according to the strict letter of the law, yet they 
were obeyed ana proved as useful and efficient a means of maintain- 
ing order as were the wholly self-constituted governments of the New 
England Puritans. 

The Organic Act, legally establishing Oklahoma Territory and pro- 
viding a toim of government became a law on May 2, 189T). Power 
was given the president to appoint the governor and the secretary, and 
the judges of the supreme court. The governor was given the power 
to appoint all other executive officials. The legislature consisted of 
a council of thir{een members and a house of representatives of twenty- 
six. The supreme court judges acted also as district judges, and as the 
territory grew in size and population, the number of these judges was 
increased from three to five and then to seven. 

George W. Steele of Indiana became the first territorial governor, 
May 22, 1890. Guthrie was designated as the temporarj^; capital and 
remained so until June 11, 1911, when it was moved to, Oklahoma City 
by referendum vote of the citizens. The election was held invalid by 
the State Supreme Court on a defect in the bill, but Governor Haskell 
called a special session of the legislature, which body located the 
capital at Oklahoma City, December 29th by more than a two-thirds 
majority vote. After being in office a year and a half Governor Steele 
resigned and on October 18, 1891, Judge A. J. Seay, a supreme court 
judge of the territory was named to succeed him. "President Cleveland 
appointed Vv. C. Renfrow to succeed Seay May 7, 1893. Renfrow serv- 
ed th'^ f'']l four years and was succeeded by Cassius M. Barnes of 
Guthrie May 24,, 1897. Governor Barnes also served a full term of four 
years and William M. Jenkins, also of Guthrie, was named as his suc- 
cessor April 15, 1901. Governor Jenkins served but a little over 
seven months when he was summarily removed by President Roose- 
velt. Thompson P. Ferguson of Watonga was appointed to fill the 
vacancy on November 30, 1901. He held office for more than the full 
term of four years, remaining in office until January 5, 1906, when he 
was sucf>eeded bv Frank Frantz, a captain in Roosevelt's regiment of 
Rough Riders, during the Spanish-American War. He served as chief 
executive of the territory until November 16, 1907, when the territory 
was admitted with the Indian Territory as Oklahoma, the Firty-iSxth 
State. 

Treaties were made with the Iowa, the Sac and Fox, and the Pot- 
tawatomie and Shawnees by which those reservations were opened to 
settlement Sept. 22, 1891. The Cheyenne and Arapaho country was 
opened to settlement by like manner April 19, 1892. Finally the cattle 
kings of the Cherokee Outlet were routed and this strip of surplus 
land of the Cherokee, was ceded back to the government by the In- 
dians and then opened for settlement, Sept. 16, 1893. This was a re- 
petition of the former runs. "Sooner" and the pistol played an even 
more prominent part at this opening than at previous runs." In May, 
189.5, the Kickapoo county, a small district lying between the reserva- 
tions of the Iowa and Pottawatomies was opened to settlement. This 
was the last of the Indian lands to be opened with a "run." At the 
Kiowa-Comanche-Caddo opening August 6, 1901, the farms were dis- 
tributed by means of a lottery. Greer county, a disputed portion of 
land claimed by Texas, was awarded to the jui'isdiction of Oklahoma 
by a decision of the Supreme Court in 1895. 

David A. Harvey was the first delegate to represent Oklahoma at 
Washington. He was elected in November, 1890, under the terms of 
the Organic Act, but was allowed no vote. Dennis T. Flynn was chos- 
en in 1892 to succeed Harvey. He was re-elected in 18t94. but was de- 
feated in 1896 by James Y. Callahan. In 1898 Flynn was again elected 
and remained in office until 1903 when he was succeeded by Bird S.

McGuire, who held the office until the coming of statehood. 

Almost immediately after the settlers had rushed into Oklahoma, 
agitation for statehood began, for the new territory soon had more 
people than many states. Numerous statehood conventions were held 
in Oklahoma Territory and at these the question immediately pre- 
sented itself as to whether there should be one or two states carved 
out of the Twin Territories. The advocates of single statehood felt 
that the mines and vast oil interests of the eastern part of what is 
now the state and the agricultural industries of the western half 
would naturally supplement each other. The advocates of double 
statehood pointed out that the small and sparsely settled New England 
states had two senators apiece, and that since each half of Oklahoma 
already had a larger population than many of these states, simple 
justice demanded that the Southwest should have this added repres- 
entation. 

The so-called "Sequoyah Constitutional Convention" was the only 
determined effort made by Indian Territory to secure statehood, in- 
dependently of Oklahoma Territory. Delegates from the Five Nations 
met at Muskogee in July, 1905. A constitution for this portion of Ok- 
lahoma was framed, and the prospective state was named "Sequoyah," 
in honor of the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. William H. Mur- 
ray, who came from the Chickasaw nation and Charles N. Haskell, 
who later became the first governor, were actively identified as dele- 
gates in the convention. The constitution written by this convention 
was given little recognition by Congress, but its work gave the white 
men of the Civilized Tribes an opportunity to get together, so that 
when the convention met at Guthrie during the following year to 
frame a constitution for the united territories, a group of delegates 
who had worked together in the Sequoyah Convention easily forged 
to leadership. 

Finally the Omnibus Bill was signed by President Roosevelt June 
14, 1906. The bill was so called because it united Oklahoma and In- 
dian Territories as one state and Arizona and New Mexico as an- 
other. The Enabling Act provided for a constitutional convention of 
one hundred and twelve members, fifty-five from Oklahoma, fifty-five 
from Indian Territory and two from the Osage Nation. The election 
of delegates was held and they met at Guthrie, November 20, 1906. 
Wm. H. Murray of Tishomingo was elected president. He had served 
as vice-president of the Sequoyah convention and was subsequently 
elected speaker of the first legislature. C. N. Haskell was the demo- 
cratic floor leader. 

The constitution framed was adopted by a majority of 107,274 and 
the entire democratic state ticket was elected at the election, Sept., 
17, 1907. The two territories were admitted as the state of Oklahoma, 
November 17, 1907. Chas. N. Haskell was elected governor and 
Thomas P. Gore and Robt. L. Owen were chosen the first U. S. Sen- 
ators from the new state. Bird S. McGuire. Elmer L. Fulton, James 
S. Davenport, Charles D. Carter and Scott Ferris were elected as the 
first Congressmen 

OKLAHOMA'S CITIZENSHIP. 

The Oklahoman is a proud individual. He is rich, not wealthy, 
less aristocratic. Rich in earned pride in so many things of which to 
be proud, not vain. Praiseful without boasting. However humble the 
lot cast in Oklahoma, that lot has changed and ^very Oklahoman 
stands with head erect, though not in the air. The past life of en- 
forced drudge, of toil and hardships, that surrounding void of oppor- 
tunity entailed; the venture made for a chance of life in a strange, 
untried field, each a stranger to each, necessitating self introductions. 



INTRODUCTORY xxi 

each to each forced to a sudden fraternization, which born of neces- 
sity, became an innate quality, deep and deeper burned in with the 
brand of observance until there has been developed an unconquerable 
trait of nature. 

Hence, the proverbial characteristic of the Oklahoman for sociabil- 
ity, commonality and generous impulse, the gate ajar for a stranger 
as well, with no sword of jealousy over the arch; welcome over every 
door, the latch string out. From the previous drudge to swift gather- 
ings of all that modern pleasure desires, the Oklahoman rests in 
ease and comfort, not in that luxury which breeds indolence and fosters 
pomp. From peonage to peerage, why not proud? For "it was not 
the wealth and affluence that gathered here with coffers of gold." But 
the crack of a gun on that forever memorable day when Oklahoman's 
green gates were thrown open, sounded the crack of doom to poverty 
and distress to those who waited on the margin of "The Land of the 
Fair God." The day of jubilee under proclaimed script from the in- 
finite, bidding the bondman go free; and sunset of the first day cast 
fading rays on a surging, seething tide of venture, rushing, jostling, 
struggling. The like was never seen before, never will be seen again 
in its extent, in its orderly tumult. And what system, what patience 
in that mad cavalcade of adventure; what noble citizenship stamped 
peace and fraternity and, good fellowship upon that clamorous, tumult- 
ous mass in the heterogeneous scramble for vantage! 

Beneath each foot of the sea of green that day, each throb that 
thrilled the untamed swards of Oklahoma, lay limitless the germ of 
rich harvests, of fruits, in florescent splendor, exhaustless the latent 
resources, and immeasurable by calculation the possibilities. These 
came, homeless, to seek a home; moneyless, to coin from the respons- 
ive soil. They "had tasted from the bitter cups of drudgery and dis- 
tress, but came as the children of favors delayed. They came with 
their manhood, their womanhood, with their patience, their good citi- 
zenship, with hope. They had calculated on hardships, for the time, 
and deprivations; these they met with heroic will and conquered. 
They smote the hillsides and gushing streams issued forth; they em- 
braced the virgin fields, and golden sheaves were conceived. Poverty 
and self-denials vanished as did the mists above the drenched wastes. 
Herds increased, great bins groaned wtih their care of grains, and 
the keys to golden stores were turned. Even as Midas prayed for vint- 
age god that all he touched might turn to gold, so Ceres heard the plea 
of Oklahoman husbandry, and the primitive is now a reminiscence 
engraved on aureate plaques. 

So came the merchant, the baker, the craftsman. Churches, edu- 
cational institutions sprang up as if from spontaneity at the nod of 
Allah. Industries spread like fires before the wild winds of the burn- 
ing'plain. Venture predicated upon the latent resources of Oklahoma, 
so that yesterday a seat of improvised tents and habitations less pro- 
vised — today, collossal marts and palatial homes. 

That community which can assure itself that its citizenship is on 
a plane with the best known to civilization has the greatest asset 
obtainable. 

The circumstances under which the state of Oklahoma was open- 
ed as a territory to white settlement was such as to assemble, in a 
single day, a quarter of a million hardy, aggressive, intellectual, dar- 
ing people from practically every state in the union. Among these 
were few indeed to whom might not be applied the title "an uncrown- 
ed king." Only brave hearted, strong minded folk permit themselves 
to th drawn into a vortex such as was that seething mass formed on 
the opening day of Oklahoma. Cowards and degenerates could not 
endure such a strain. Few who came here at that time ever gave the 
question of returning to their former abodes a second thought. They 



xxii OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

knew the natural advantages of the section they had chosen for a 
future home, and they bravely faced every hardship to make the ef- 
fort of their lives to make good individually. How well they suc- 
ceeded in this is manifested in the wonderful strides made in every 
county in the now popular young commonwealth in the sisterhood of 
states. 

The world has never produced an assemblage of braver, stronger, 
cleaner specimens of manhood and womanhood than those liberty lov- 
ing, patriotic, determined men and women who walked from the decks 
of the May Flower at Plymouth Rock, three hundred years ago and 
those brilliant Cavaliers who landed at Jamestown in 1607. They form- 
ed a foundation for a citizenship, which has spread westward steadily 
and conquered both foe and nature. The same strong arms that 
wielded the ax in the forests of the New England states in the years 
that followed the arrival of these patriots, to clear the fields for plant- 
ing a citizenry, which has reproduced and multiplied descendants whose 
valor has never dimmed, whose love of country, freedom of speech, 
pride of home and loyalty to our institutions, have grown stronger as 
the nation has become popular and its people independent. 

Thousands of the descendants of these hardy pioneers were to be 
found astride striped legged ponies dashing across the sun kissed 
prairies of Oklahoma on that memorable day, April 22, 1889. A large 
majority of them may be found, multiplied and advanced in keeping 
with the time, among the business men throughout the state. There 
is a larger per centage of people residing within the boundaries of 
Oklahoma today, in proportion to population, eligible to membership 
in that society known as the Daughters of the American Revolution 
than in any other state. 

Situated in the central southwest, well removed from any sea- 
shore, Oklahoma feels less the influx into the country of undesir- 
able immigrants from foreign shores than almost any other state. The 
fact that the assimulation of these immigrants aften require two or 
more generations, renders their admission in larger numbers imdesir- 
able, hence the fact that Oklahomans are largely American born citi- 
zens, keen in their conception of the higher ideals of our form of gov- 
ernment and its institutions, places the state upon a plane above many 
of its sister states. The low-class foreigners in his ignorance of 
our institutions bothers little here, hence the few who stray into our 
midst are lonesome and not impressed by the reception accorded them 
when they enter into competition with our typical class of active 
Americans. 

A territory situated as Oklahoma naturally appeals to the best 
people and those most informed of the advantages of a home in a 
temperate clime, from all over the nation. For this reason there has 
been developed in twenty years a citizenship of the most pronounced 
cosmopolitan type. There were just enough descendants from the 
Cavalier aristocracy of the Old South to blend with the Puritan that 
formed the Westerner, and then came the typical Yankee of the East, 
making concessions, e'ach to the other; which character calculated 
to develop a race unlike anything in the world, and retain a pride 
of race and respect for that hope for a higher civilization any true 
American must prize. 

In order that the full story of Oklahoma's empire builders be told, 
it would require the hand of the historian, the foresight of the statesman, 
and the knowledge of the ethnologist of racial and social conditions 
and racial and social characteristics of the various races and tribes of 
men which have become component parts of its citizenry. To clearly 
depict the life of a people and the growth of a state, which in little 
more than one score years has been changed from a prairie waste with 
a lonesome ranch house here and there in some sleepy' valley, to the 



INTRODUCTORY xxiii 

forefront of the sisterhood of states, and whose banner is seen proudly 
waving, unsullied and unstained, in the thickest of the industrial and 
political battle as the battle flag of the great humanitarian forces, 
would require the hand of no mean artist. 

Oklahoma's constitution, like her people, is a product of the entire 
union. That document has been pronounced as one of the greatest 
declaration of rights of the common people which has ever been laid 
down. It ranks with the Magna Charta. It contains the best of the 
ages. Oklahoma's great leaders and its constitution framers were 
able to glean the best from the fruits of the years and then wrote that 
into the fundamental document of our laws. 

Oklahoma's men and women have come fi'om practically every 
state in the union. It is the scene of the final stand of the 
Indian against the Anglo-Saxon's form of civilization. It is the 
fusing point o| the ideas and energy of the Southron, the Northerner 
and the Easterner. It is the one great bright spot in the southwestern 
corner of the nation's political firmament. From here will come a new 
type man of the age. The southwest has been the objective point of 
some of the best educated, best trained, best equipped men of the nation 
who have forsaken the more crowded avenues of success in the older 
states and have come hither to achieve their fame and fortune. As 
a result a new type-man of the first quarter of the Twentieth Century 
must come from the recently unsettled southwest. 




OKLAHOMA STATE SEAL 



The conception of the Oklahoma state seal is peculiarly 
happy in that it combines in a perfect symbol the Great Seal 
of the Territory of Oklahoma with those of the Five Civilized 
Tribes, the Great Seal of the Territory of Oklahoma being 
in the center of a five-pointed star, in each projection of which 
is one of the national emblems of the red men's former gov- 
ernments. 

The device of the seal was the work of Dr. A. Grant Evans, 
formerly president of the Oklahoma State University, J. J. 
Quarles of the Osage Nation, and Gabe Parker of Academy, 
Okla., members of the Constitutional Convention. 

It is described as follows : 

"In the center shall be a five-pointed star, with one ray 
pointing upward. The center of the star shall contain the 
central device of the seal of the Territory of Oklahoma, in- 
cluding the words 'Lahbr Omnia Ylncit.' the literal transla- 
tion of which is 'Labor Conquers All,' and all of which shall 
be encircled by a wreath of the floral emblem of the new state, 

''The upper left-hand ray shall contain the symbol from 
the ancient seal of the Cherokee Nation — a seven-pointed star 
surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. 

"The ray pointing upward shall contain the symbol from 
the ancient seal of the Chickasaw Nation — an Indian warrior 
standing upright with bow in hand. 

"The lower left-hand ray shall contain the symbol from 
the ancient seal of the Creek Nation — a sheaf of wheat and 
a plow. ' 

Sig. 3. 



2 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

"The upper right-hand ray shall contain a symbol from 
the ancient seal of the Choctaw Nation — a tomahawk, bow 
and three crossed arrows. 

''The lower right-hand ray shall contain the symbol from 
the ancient seal of the Seminole Nation — ;a village with houses 
and a factory beside a lake upon which an Indian is paddling 
a canoe. 

''Surrounding the central star and grouped between its 
rays shall be forty-five small stars, divided into five clusters 
of nine stars each, representing the forty-five states of the 
union to which the 46th is now added. 

"In a circular band surrounding the whole device shall 
be inscribed, 'Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma, 1907' " 



STATE BANNER 

The Third Legislature, 1911, adopted a concurrent reso- 
lution designating a state banner. Its description follows: 

"That a banner, consisting of a red field with a five- 
pointed star, of white, edged with blue, in the center thereof, 
with the figures 46, in blue, in the center of the star, be, and 
the same is hereby adopted as the official banner of the State 
of Oklahoma." 



STATE EMBLEM 

The Territorial Legislature of 1893 adopted the mistletoe 
as the state emblem.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE COMMISSIONER OF LABOR. 

Section 20 of Article VI of tlie State Constitution creates the 
office of Commissioner of Labor, wlio stiall be elected by the people. 
The terra of office is four years and the salary $2,000. The first 
legislature created a Board of Arbitration and Conciliation in the 
department, to be appointed by the governor by and with the advice 
and consent of the state senate, two of whom must be farmers and 
one an employer, selected by the governor, and two employes and one 
employer, recommended by the labor commissioner. 

That organized labor has played an important part in shaping 
the destinies of the new state is evident from the fact that the 
state constitution, statutes, and ordinances of cities and municipali- 
ties contain laws which were advocated and enacted at its request. 

Oklahoma has an eight-hour law for all public work, and provi- 
sion is made in the same law that the current market rate of per 
diem wages in the locality where the work is performed, shall be paid. 

The State Free Employment Bureau was created at the request 
of organized labor. The law creating this institution of state gov- 
ernment affects the unorganized class of labor more than any other, 
practically 99 per cent, being of that class. 

Factory inspection, child labor legislation, and many other laws 
have proven their value during the three years of their operation. 
Provision is also made, by statute, for the labeling of convict-made 
goods; and, in the constitution, for the prohibition of contracting 
convict labor, other than that of employment by the several counties 
of the state for road building; prohibiting payment of wages in 
script; providing a semi-monthly pay day; for service letters; steam 
boiler protection; operation of at least one repair shop within the 
limits of the state by all railroads; a mechanic's lien; protection of 
employes on buildings; punishment for deception in the employment 
of labor, or the use of unlawful force; regulation of private employ- 
ment agencies; the exemption of wages, and other provisions.

STATE JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT. 

The judicial power of the state is vested in the Senate, sitting 
as a court of impeachment, a Supreme Court, consisting of five justices, 
a Criminal Court of Appeals, composed of three members, district 
courts, superior courts, county courts, municipal courts, and courts of 
the justices of the peace. The state is divided into five judicial 
districts for the purpose of electing justices of the supreme court, and 
into a northern, eastern and southern district for the election of 
judges of the criminal court of appeals. The nominations are made 
by districts but the election is at large. 

The term of office of the justices of the supreme court is six 
years. Provision is made in the State Constitution that the supreme 
court shall render a decision in each case filed, within six months 
after it has been filed. 

The legislature in 1911 apportioned the state into twenty-six 
districts for district court purposes, increasing the number five, as 
originally prescribed by the Constitution, with the provision that 
the number might be changed from time to time by the legislature. 

County courts have original jurisdiction in all probate matters, 
co-extensive with the county.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE LAND OFFICE. 



History of Department. 

The school lands of Oklahoma are a heritage to the coming gen- 
erations, the magnitude of which is difficult to comprehend from the 
present viewpoint of history. 

Under the act of Congress, approved March 4, 1889, opening Ok- 
lahoma to settlement, sections 16 and 36 in each township were re- 
served for the use and benefit of the common schools, and the reser- 
vation was confirmed by the organic act of the territory. It had been 
customary in all territories in which school land was reserved to allow 
the land to lie idle until such time as the Territory was admitted to 
statehood, when some provision would be made for the disposal of 
the lands. 

Territorial Governor George W. Steele conceived the plan of hav- 
ing the lands leased for a term of years. 'He went to Washington and 
as tbe result of his visit, authority was given the Governor of the Ter- 
ritory by an act of congress approved March 3, 1891 to lease such lands 
under such rules and regulations as might be prescribed by the Secre- 
tary of the Interior. Soon after the school land department was 
organized with one clerk, appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, 
and the leasing of land was begun. 

By the act of Congress approved May 4, 1894, a board for leasing 
school lands was created, composed of the Governor. Secretary of the 
territory, and superintendent of public instruction who were author- 
ized to lease such lands under the rules and regulations prescribed by 
the Secretary of the Interior until laws for the administration of the 
trust should be passed by the territorial legislature. 

The Third Legislature failed to pass such legislation. The Fifth 
Legislature passed a bill which was vetoed by Governor Renfrew and 
May 3, 1899, the board, as created bv the act of Congress adopted a 
new set of rules and regulations of its own accord, governing the 
leasing of land. 

It was provided in the ordinance for the government of the 
Northwest Territory in 1787, that Section 16 in every township be set 
aside for the maintenance and support of a public school system. 
Thomas Jefferson was the real author of the public school system 
prevalent throughout the various states of the Union. In 1848, Section 
36 was added to Section 16 for the support and maintenance of a com- 
mon school system in all the public lands of the United States out of 
which states might be created. 



STATE DEPARTMENTS 45 

Oklahoma was opened to settlement by the act of Congress under 
this law, April 22, 1889. When the Cherokee Strip was opened, Presi- 
dent Cleveland under the direction of Congress, added section 13 for 
the support of state educational institutions and Section 33 for the 
erection of public buildings for the state, which created an endow- 
ment of 1,415,862 acres of land for the common or district schools, and 
1,712,633 for public buildings and for five higher educational institu- 
tions. 

The national government in the Enabling Act in 1907, gave $5,- 
000,000 in lieu of Sections 16 and 36, which could not be had in the

"Original Sources of Oklahoma Titles, with Special Reference to 

Indian Titles." 

BY KIRBY FITZPATRICK 
(Chief Examiner of Titles for State Scliool Land Department). 

Delivered before the American Association of Title Men, at Little 
Rock, Ark., November 18, 1911. 



The discussion of the original source of Oklahoma titles properly 
falls into two divisions: 

First: The source from which the original individual owner ac- 
quired the fee; 

Second: The condition under which the invidvidual ownei- can 
convey a fee simple; 

Inasmuch as the entire area of Oklahoma except the three extreme 
western counties was originally included in the Indian Territory, the 
discussion necessarily involves a consideration of Indian laws and 
treaties from the foundation of the republic, and even before. 

Among the European nations which established colonies in Amer- 
ica, the doctrine became firmly established that a grant from the Crown 
carried to a colony only the exclusive right to purchase from the 
Indians, at such time as they saw fit to sell, their right of occupancy, 
which right of occupancy remained fixed in the Indian tribes. 

The supreme court of the United States has held time and time 
again that the United States in acquiring sovereignty once held by 
European nations succeeded only to such rights as the said nations 
themselves claimed; in other words, the Indian tribes owned a life 
estate in the territory which they occupied, while the United States 
held merely a vested remainder. 

Our government, in dealing with the Indian right of occupancy has 
proceeded on the theory that each sub-division of the human race has, 
according to the law of nature, a right to a reasonable portion of the 
earth's surface, and that the Indian had no right to roam, unmolested, 
through this imperial domain, while other parts of the human .family 
were huddled together in countries over-crowded to such an extent as 
to make existence extremely precarious and well night intolerable. 

The government, therefore, exercised the right of racial eminent 
c'omain, and while each cession of territory has been accompanied by 
the formality of a treaty, such treaty was invariably procured by 
fraud or under duress and for a consideration the insufficiency of which 
is well nigh appalling, and should be revolting to the national con- 
science. 

Thus, this princely and warlike race, the most virile type of 
aborigines the world has known, was, by conquest, duress and fraud, 
reduced to a state of abject hoplessness and forced to assume a form 
of civilization for which they were not prepared; herded on reserva- 
tions or allotted on meager quarter sections, which scanty pittance 
is the patrimony left from the vast domain, all of which, under the 
construction of our supreme court, should have descended as a 
heritage to the Indians, in the absence of an alienation for a valuable 
consideration. 



52 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

When we contemplate a spectacle such as the purchase of Man- 
hattan Island for twenty-four dollars (which was paid with three 
dollars worth of beads) can we wonder that these children of the 
forest stood appalled when they saw the land that they thought was 
to be merely a joint hunting ground being actually reduced to 
possession, dismantled of its timber, and hedged about with forts? 
Is it strange that their sense of justice was outraged, and their thirst 
of vengeance aroused, that they fell back step by step, contesting 
every foot of ground, leaving the bones of their warriors scattered 
from the Atlantic to the plains, and quenching with their own life 
blood every camp fire that the invader built? 

When tiring of the unequal struggle, crowded out by an encroach- 
ing civilization, the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and 
Seminoles (now known as the Five Civilized Tribes) relinquished their 
right of occupancy to all of the country east of the Mississippi, being 
granted in exchange the fee to the greater part of the area of 
what is now Oklahoma; they were promised undisputed enjoyment 
of this hunting ground so long as the grass grew, and so long as the 
rivers ran on to the sea; but soon the tide of material civilization 
overran their borders until the intermarried whites and mixed bloods 
were able to control an election by which a treaty was adopted, 
against the wishes of ninety per cent of the full-blood Indians, re- 
linquishing the tribal right and agreeing to a partition of their lands 
to the individual members of the tribe; and thus the last flower 
of the most ideal tribal relations the world has ever known has been 
ruthlessly blotted from the earth. 

The government, from time to time, purchased from the Five 
Civilized Tribes that part of their lands lying in what was Oklahoma 
Territory, and settled thereon remnants of many scattered tribes, 
allowing them to hold only under the ordinary right of occupancy, 
with the exception of what is now the Osage Nation, which land 
was purchased by the government from the Cherokees and sold out- 
right to the Great and Little Osages and the Kaws. 

When the Territory of Oklahoma was organized, all of the Indian 
Territory, except what was then occupied by the Five Civilized Tribes, 
was cut off and, together with the public lands lying west of the 
one hundredth meridian, known as "No Man's Land," was formed 
into Oklahoma Territory. 

The government, from time to time, purchased from the scat- 
tered tribes in Oklahoma Territory their right of occupancy, in 
exchange giving to each member an individual allotment and issuing 
what is known as a "trust patent," which provides that the govern- 
ment shall hold the land for twenty-five years in trust for the allottee 
or his heirs. 

The lands, purchased from the above mentioned scattered tribes, 
together with the public-lands strip above referred to, was from time 
to time, opened to homestead settlement under the general homestead 
laws of the United States; the settlers, after proof of settlement 
and final payment, being issued a fee simple patent. 

Out of the public land aforesaid, the government, from time to 
time, has set aside an amount aggregating three million, one hundred 
and twenty-six thousand, four hundred and ninety-five and seventy- 
five one-hundredths acres (worth at this time at least fifty million 
dollars) ; the title to which land is held by the state of Oklahoma 
in trust for the benefit of the schools and public buildings of the 
state. This land is controlled by the commissioners of the land office, 
and will be treated under the general head of "School Lands." 



STATE DEPARTMENTS 53 

When it became necessary to establish towns in Indian Territory, 
the government, acting as the trustee for the respective tribes, set 
aside townsites, plotted and sold the lots, issuing to the purchasers 
thereof a fee simple patent. 

There was left over, after allotting to the Indians of the Osage 
nation, and the Five Civilized Tribes, certain lands which are at 
this time being sold by the government, as trustee, the purchaser 
receiving from the chiefs of the respective tribes a fee simple patent. 

Thus we have in Oklahoma seven distinct classes of land: 

A — Homestead entries; 

B — Town lots in Indian Territory and Osage Nation; 

C — Land purchased from Indian tribes; 

D — School lands; 

E — Land held by individual Indians of the Osage Nation; 

F — Land held under trust patent by members of scattered tribes; 

G — Land held by individual members of the Five Civilized 
Tribes. 

This brings us to the second division of the subject namely: 
"The Condition Under Which the Original Individual Owner May 
Convey a Fee Simple Title." 

The general laws of conveyancing, administration and guardian- 
ship proceedings, tax titles, sale under execution, probation of will, 
etc., as modified by our statutes, of course, govern in Oklahoma. 
I will, therefore, only discuss conditions perculiar to the respective 
classes of land; and while it is impossible to give an exhaustive 
treatise on titles in a limited space, however, the following will be 
found to cover the principal laws governing the transfer of Oklahoma 
Indian land, acting under which an unquestionable title may be ac- 
quired. 

Classes "A," "B," and "C" are alienable at will after issuance of 
patent. 

Class "D" (school lands) is from time to time being sold under 
statutory authority by the commissioners of the land office at public 
auction, the purchaser, upon payment of five per cent of the purchase 
price is issued a certificate of purchase (which is transferrable), the 
remainder of the purchase being paid in forty equal annual install- 
ments, drawing interest at five per cent with the option of the pur- 
chaser of paying up after five years, and upon full payment the 
purchaser received a fee simple patent from the commissioners of 
the land office. 

About ten thousand quarter sections of agricultural school 
land is held under lease, the lessees having, under the constitution, 
a preference right to take the land at the highest bid; while if the 
lessee elects to allow the bidder to take the land, the purchaser 
must pay the lessee, in cash, the appraised value of improvements on 
the land, as appraised by the commissioners of the land office. 

Class "E" lands in the Osage Nation are held by the Osages and 
Kaws subject to certain restrictions. 

The act of congress of June 27, 1906, provides that the adult 
members of the Osage tribe may sell their surplus land, provided 
the Secretary of the Interior, upon due investigation, will certify that 
the particular Indian is competent to attend to his own affairs. 

The act of Congress of March 3, 1909, authorized the Secretary 
of the Interior, as trustee for the Indians, to sell any surplus land 
in the Osage Nation (both the Kaws and the Osages) provided, how- 
ever, that the mineral rights to lands, belonging to the Osages, should 
remain the property of the tribe, for a period of twenty-five years. 



54 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Class "F": Trust patents to the members of the various scat- 
tered tribes in what was Oklahoma Territory were issued under the 
general allotment act of 1887, which act has the following language: 

" * * * The United States does, and will, hold the land 
thus allotted for the period of twenty-five years in trust for the sole 
use and benefits of the Indian to whom such allottment shall have 
been made, or in case of his decease, of his heirs according to the 
law of the state or territory where such land is located." 

This section was amended by the act of May 27, 1902 (32 Stat. 
275), which amendment governs in the sale of such estates in 
Oklahoma. (See rules and regulations, approved by the interior 
department, October 12, 1910, Section 10.) Said act of May 27, 1902, 
section 7, has the following language: 

"That the adult heirs of any deceased Indian to whom trust or 
other patent containing restrictions upon alienation has been or shall 
be issued for lands allotted to him, may sell and convey the lands 
inherited from such decendant, but in cases of minor heirs, their 
interest shall be sold only by guardian duly appointed by the proper 
court upon the order of such court, made upon petition filed by the 
guardian, but such conveyance shall be subject to the approval of 
the Secretary of the Interior, and when so approved shall convey 
full title to the purchaser, the same as if final patent without re- 
strictions upon alienation had been issued to the allottee." 

The Department of the Interior holds that under the last quoted 
section the trust estates of Indians (deceased) are not subject to the 
jurisdiction of state courts (probate or other) and that all that is 
necessary in order that heirs may convey under said section is to 
establish heirship by affidavit, thus securing the approval of the 
Secretary of the Interior, which the Interior Department holds con- 
veys an indefeasible title. On the other hand, I hold that the approval 
of the deed of the heirs by the Interior Department merely acts as 
relinquishment, on the part of the government, of all restrictions 
against the conveyance of said land, but that such approval does not 
preclude unknown heirs, who were not a party to the said approval, 
from setting up a claim to title in the land question and that the 
effect of said deed is merely an absolute conveyance of all the rights 
which the parties grantor hold in the said land. I hold that said 
section seven provides a procedure not for the determination of 
heirship, but merely a procedure by which the government relinquishes 
the restrictions on such land. The question as to who the adult 
heirs of the deceased Indian are must be determined "according to 
the law of the state or territory where such land is located," as is 
provided in the general allotment act above quoted. The language 
of the said section, "when so approved shall convey full title to the 
purchaser the same as if final patent without restrictions upon the 
alienation had been issued to the allottee," it seems to me, can have 
one effect only, namely, to place the heirs of the said allottee in the 
same status as the heirs of the estate of a white man, "The same a8 
if final patent without restrictions upon alienation had been issued 
to the allottee." 

Had such fee simple patent been issued to the allottee during 
his life, there is no power in the federal government other than armed 
force that could rob an unknown heir, who is a citizen of Oklahoma 
of his right to a participation in his patrimony, without due process 
of law. 

Class "G": Titles to the lands held by the Five Civilized Tribes 
are exceedingly complex, inasmuch as each tribe had its local laws 
and has been governed by separate treaties and acts of Congress 



STATE DEPARTMENTS 65 

(with the exception of Choctaws and Chickasaws, who are governed 
by the same laws) So that, in passing on these titles more than two 
hundred and fifty conditions may arise wliich do not appear in the 
ordinary title. Nevertheless, these titles are just as fixed and certain 
as any titles, provided one stays within the clear meaning of the 
acts of Congress. 

There is a class of title that all admit is alienable, and another 
class that all admit is inalienable; then there is the twilight zone of 
uncertainty in which lurks speculators known as "grafters," wno, 
either through ignorance of, or total disregard for the acts of Coi»- 
gress, have purchased thousands of acres of land, the alienability 
of which has always been questioned by the more conservative title 
experts of the state, and because of this very uncertainty, these 
lands have been acquired at a nominal purchase price. 

A bona fide purchaser, seeking legitimate investment at a fair 
consideration can acquire an absolute title to thousands of acres of 
Indian land, which has never been questioned by the courts, provided 
he will seek the counsel of any reputable title expert. 

In the Marchie Tiger case, the supreme court of Oklahoma held 
that the provisions of the act of April 26, 1906, requiring the Secretary 
of the Interior to approve the deed of full blood heirs, was retroactive 
and could not be held to apply to a class of land the restrictions on 
which had expired under the operation of a prior act. This decision, 
inasmuch as it involved the interpretation of a federal statute, was 
in no sense conclusive, but stood subject to review by the supreme 
court of the United States. 

While I have the utmost respect for the supreme court of my 
state, I could not hold with them in this interpretation and there- 
fore, for the last three years have refused to recommend loans of 
this character; the position is vindicated by the fact that on May 11, 
1911, the Marchie Tiger case was reversed by the Supreme Court 
of the United States; and the records of the commissioners of the 
land office will show that I have disapproved more than one hun- 
dred thousand dollars worth of loans on which the state would now 
hold worthless mortgages had I seen fit to follow the ruling of the 
Supreme Court of Oklahoma in the Marchie Tiger case. 

While it is estimated that the celebrated Marchie Tiger case 
made void the title under which more than one-quarter million acres 
of land was held in Oklahoma, I submit that every acre of this land 
was purchased with the full knowledge that the title was uncertain 
and the reason this land was purchased rather than land that had 
unquestionable title was that the clouded title forced down the market 
value. 

In the case of Hancock, et al., vs. the Mutual Trust Company, 
the Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that prior to the act of Congress 
approved May 26, 1906, and under the act of July 18, 1902, the heirs 
of a deceased Cherokee Indian might alienate the lands inherited from 
such a decendant. 

A similar question came before the Secretary of the Interior on 
January 29, 1907, in the case of the heirs of Robinson Watson, and 
upon an opinion from the Attorney General of the United States, 
the Secretary of the Interior made a ruling on alfours with the 
above holding of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. On October 17, 
1908, the identical tract of land, title to which was held to be good, 
in the above case of the Watson heirs, was submitted to the state 
for a loan, and I disapproved the title in the following language: 

" • * * I do not agree with the reasoning of the honor- 
able Attorney General of the United States. I think that the deduc- 
tion is unsound and farfetched in the extreme. * • ♦ My 



66 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

opinion is that while this class of title is such that a speculator might 
afford to invest his own money thereon, it is not such as would 
justify a trustee in loaning a fund which is to be held sacred for the 
benefit of the unborn generations of the school children of the state. 
This law is retroactive in its nature, therefore, there is some question 
as to its constitutionality, but until the courts pass on this question 
the only safe position is to follow the act of Congress, of April 26, 
1906." 

While this point has not yet been decided by the Supreme Court 
of the United States, yet a ruling contrary to the above ruling of 
the Attorney General was made June 7, 1911, by the Honorable At- 
torney General of the United States, in re the heirs of Lucy Cole; 
holding squarely that such lands were inalienable. 

Of the four million dollars loaned by the commissioners of the 
land office since statehood, three-quarters of a million is on Indian 
land to which the title is unassailable. 

The Attorney General of the United States, October 17, 1909, 
construing section nine of the act of Congress of May 27, 1908, held 
that its provisions were not retroactive, and that all conveyances by 
full-blood heirs of the deceased allottees who died prior to May 27, 
1908, in order to pass a valid title to the estate of said deceased 
allottees must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior. On May 
27, 1911, the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in the case of MacHarry 
vs. Batman (not et published) held directly to the contrary, and 
the United States court for the eastern district of Oklahoma has 
also held with the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in a case parallel 
with the one above referred to. 

It is my opinion that the Attorney General in the above opinion 
has correctly interpreted the law and that this interpretation will 
oe followed by the Supreme Court of the United Stateg in due time. 
However, as the state and federal authorities are clearly at variance 
on this point, which has been adjudicated by both state and federal 
courts, the only safe method in approving titles of this class, prior 
to a final adjudication, is to require the approval of the Secretary 
ot the Interior, and also of the probate court. 

Where the original allottee has parted with his title and the 
purchase is from a party other than the allottee, the question of the 
v^alidity of the title depends upon the date of the deed from the 
original allottee. 

With the exception of the Creek Nation, there was practically no 
land in the Five Civilized Tribes alienable prior to the act of April 21, 
1904, which law is still effective and was supplemented by the act of 
April 26, 1906. 

Next in point is the purchase direct from the Indian, in which 
case the act of Congress, approved May 27, 1908, which became 
operative after sixty days, namely, July 26, 1908, governs absolutely 
irrespective of previous enactments on the subject, with the exception 
of certain conditions as to the estates of deceased Indians. 

The acts of Congress above referred to form the main basis of 
alienation of Indian lands and effect all of the Five Civilized Tribei 
alike. 

Next came a few specific acts relating to individual tribes. 

In the Choctaw and Chickasaw agreement, approved by Congress 
July 1, 1902 (33 Stat. L. 641), Section sixteen is as follows: 

"All lands allotted to members of said tribes, except such land as 
Is set aside to each for homestead as herein provided shall be alien- 
able after issuance of patent as follows : One-fourth In acreage ih one 
year, one-fourth in acreage In three years, and the balance In five 
years; in each case from the date of patent. Provided, that such land 



STATE DEPARTMENTS 57 

shall not be alienable by the allottee or his heirs at any time before 
the expiration of the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribal governments for 
less than its appraised value." 

This law remained in effect until the act of May 26, 1908, with 
regard to all Indians except full-bloods, having been repealed as to 
full-bloods by the act of April 26, 1906. The law was never effective 
as to Choctaw and Chickasaw freedmen, because such freedmen had 
no surplus allottment, the land being homestead. 

In the Creek agreement on March 9, 1900 (31 Stat. L. 861) Section 
7, we find the following language: 

"Lands allotted to citizens hereunder shall not in any manner 
whatsoever or at any time, be encumbered, taken or sold to secure or 
satisfy any debt or obligation contracted or created prior to the date 
of the deed to the allottee therefor, and such lands shall not be alien- 
able by the allottee or his heirs at any time before the expiration of 
five years from the ratification of this agreement, except with the ap- 
proval of the secretary of the interior." 

The supplemental Creek treaty of June 30, (30 Stat. L. 500), Sec- 
tion 16, reaffirms the above proposition of law in practically the same 
language, its only effect being the extension of the time to five years 
from the date of said supplemental agreement instead of five years 
from the date of the original agreement, therefore, from March 1, 1901, 
until August 8, 1907, the surplus allottment of the Creek Indians could 
be sold with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior. 

After August 8, 1907, the surplus land of said Creeks, except full- 
bloods, could be sold free ffom any restrictions and without the ap- 
proval of the Secretary of the Interior, said condition existing until 
the act of July 26, 1908, which act repealed the provision of the treaty 
above quoted. 

There were certain conditions under which the Creek citizen could 
make a valid will to his land prior to April 26, 1904, but titles arising 
under these conditions are so rare that it is not deemed sufficiently 
important to be of great interest. 

Cherokee Agreement, approved April 21, 1902 (32 Stat. L. 716) 
Section 15, is as follows: 

"All the lands allotted to members of said tribe, except such lands 
as set aside for homestead as herein provided, shall be alienable in 
five years after the issuance of patent." 

This provision was repealed as to full-bloods by the act of April 
26, 1906, and repealed as to all other Indians by act of July 27, 1908. 
There are very few deeds made under this provision of law, however, 
as there are very few patents whose date extended back five years 
before the acts repealing said law. 

Aside from this provision there was no provision either in the 
Cherokee or Seminole Nations for the alienation of lands prior to the 
act of congress of April 21, 1904, above quoted. 

The following general principles applying to each of the Five 
Civilized Tribes is conclusive proof as to age of allottee, while the 
tribal roll is conclusive proof as to the per cent of blood. 

Land of an allottee is not liable for any claim or lien contracted 
prior to the removal of restrictions, and is only taxable after the re- 
moval of restrictions. 

Oklahoma statutes removing the disability of a minor to make con- 
tracts does not affect Indian minors in the transfer of Indian lands. 



58 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Chapter 49, Mansfield's digest of the statutes of Arkansas (govern- 
ing as to descent and distribution) was made to apply to the re- 
spective tribes after the following dates: 

Choctaw and Chickasaw, September 25, 1902. 
Creek, July 1, 1902. 
Seminole, October 7, 1902. 
Cherokee, August 7, 1902. 

All patents must be approved by the Secretary of the Interior. It 
has been held, in the case of Shulthis vs. McDougal, 95 C. C. A., page 
615, that the Indians of these tribes held their lands as tenants in com- 
mon; that their right to participation came as an estate of inheritance 
from their tribal ancestors who, as above set out, received a deed to 
this land from the United States government at the time they oc- 
cupied same. 

There is, therefore, no reason in equity why the Secretary of the 
Interior should approve these deeds and the provision that he should 
so do was wholly gratuitous on the part of congress and partakes of 
the nature of "malicious mischief." 

In closing, I cannot forbear the remark that, with the exception 
of the outrage that was perpetrated on the Indians of the Five Civi- 
lized Tribes, in forcing them to share their lands with the negro 
slaves as a penalty for having espoused the cause of the once glor- 
ious and ever immortal Southern Confederacy — with this exception, 
the greatest curse that has fallen to the Indians since they were rob- 
bed of the main bulk of their estate east of the Mississippi, is the 
annoying, long distance, restrictive supervision of the federal govern- 
ment over the little that is left to them. 

The courts have held that the United States stands in loco par- 
entis to the Indians. It is a significant fact, whatever right of guard- 
ianship the government has, existed at a time when the Indian was a 
naked and untutored savage, and so greatly needed the guidance of the 
paternal hand of the "Great White Father." But that hand was then 
lifted to smite him, and, now that the restraining hand is no longer 
needed, the Indian is surfeited by unsolicited solicitude and in the 
language of Shakespeare 'he dies of much cherishing.' 

The Indians of Oklahoma are amply able to taKe care of them- 
selves, and if the restrictions were lifted from all their lands, the in- 
flux of home builders would double the price of land in the east side 
of the state. 

There are thousands of acres of Indian land clearly alienable, but 
the lack of confidence in titles that exists in the minds of non-resi- 
dent investors, through their failure to discriminate between good and 
bad Indian titles, keeps the market price down, and allows the "graft- 
ers" to secure the land at a nominal price. 

Bars make a prison though they be bars of gold; and the bonds 
that bind a man whose soul cries out for liberty become shackles of 
servitude, whether they be the hand of a marshal or the annoying 
supervision of a misguided federal government. 

The spirit of liberty was not born in the breasts of the Revolu- 
tionary patriots — it was indigenous to the soil; and the wild out-cry 
for 'Liberty or Death' was equally well expressed by the twang of 
every bow-string that answered the crack of the invader's rifle; and 
the same spirit burns today in the breast of every proud Indian citi- 
zen of Oklahoma and will smoulder there until the restrictions are re- 
moved.

GAME AND FISH WARDEN DEPARTMENT. 



While Cassius M. Barnes was territorial governor, the legisla- 
ture established a game and fish department and provided for its 
maintenance from funds derived from fines assessed against those guilty 
of violating the game laws. This failed to provide adequate funds for 
the successful enforcement of the game law and the conduct of the 
ofiice. The 1909 legislature passed a game law, known as the Keys 
bill, providing for the issuing of hunting licenses for resident, non- 
resident and alien hunters. The money derived from the 
sale of these licenses was to be placed in the game protection 
fund for the support of the department. This law, with a few minor 
amendments passed since, is now in force. 

Since statehood three men have held the position of game and 
fish warden: J. S. Askew of Chickasha, appointed by Governor C. N. 
Haskell, who served until January 21, 1911; Lon M. Frame of Ardmore, 
who occupied the position for about sixty days and resigned to 
become chairman of the state board of public affairs; and John B, 
Doolin of Alva. 

The work done by the department in the past two years is shown 
by the following report: 

Resident hunting licenses issued from June 9, 1909, to June 1, 
1911, 125,000 at $1.00 each, $125,000; non-resident hunting licenses 
issued June 9, 1909, to June 1, 1911, 415 at $15.00 each, $6,225.00; alien 
hunting licenses issued June 9, 1909, to June 11, 1911, 4 at $25.00 each, 
$100.00; number of arrests and convictions for violating state game 
laws, 450, amount collected from fines assessed, $2,320.00; total 
amount of money collected and deposited with the State Treasurer 
from June 9, 1909, to June 1, 1911, $133,645.00; amount of money ex- 
pended for conduct of state game and fish warden's department, 
including money expended for propagating purposes from June 9, 

1909, to June 1, 1911, $30,908.00; number of live pheasants distributed 
throughout the state from June 1, 1910, to June 1, 1911, 2,500; num- 
ber of pheasant eggs distributed throughout the state from June 1, 

1910, to June 1, 1911, 60,000; number of live pheasants now in the 
state, 40,000; number of fish distributed throughout the state, black 
bass and croppie, 30,000. 

Warden John B. Doolin has reorganized and systematized the 
state game and fish warden's department since his incumbency. He 
has districted the state into twelve districts, containing from six to 
ten counties in each district. Each district deputy warden recom- 
mends the appointment of a sufficient number of assistant game and 
fish wardens to properly police the state and enforce the law in the 
territory assigned them.

NATIONAL GUARD. 

The National Guard of Oklahoma consists of one regiment of 
infantry, one detachment of engineers, signal corps, and sanitary 
troops, which are attached to the first infantry. The total numerical 
strength of the organization is 1,012 commissioned and enlisted men, 
60 officers and 952 enlisted men. 

The Governor of the state is commander-in-chief of the militia, 
and as such has supreme command of the military forces of the 
state while in the service of the state, or until they are ordered and 
accepted into service of the United Stats. The adjutant general is 
in control of the military department of the state and is subordinate 
only to the governor in matters pertaining to the department. 

The militia of the state is divided into two classes, the active and 
reserve militia. The active militia consists of the organized and uni- 
formed military forces of the state, which is known as the Oklahoma 
National Guard. The reserve militia consists of all those liable to 
service in the militia, or all able bodied men between the ages of 18 
and 45 years who are or who have declared their intention of be- 
coming citizens and not serving in a National Guard of a State. 

Under provisions of the state law, there is an annual muster and' 
camp of instruction of the Oklahoma National Guard at Chandler, 
Okla., where the state rifle range is located, or such other place as 
may be ordered by the Governor or Adjutant General.

The territorial legislature of 1899 passed an act creating the oflBce

at Norman. The geologist was at that time directed to begin and 
continue the geological survey of the state by counties or districts. 
The state geologist is also curator of the geological cabinet, museum, 
apparatus and library. The third state legislature provided for an 
enlargement of the bureau and appropriated a considerable amount 
of funds for the benefit of the department.

with Oklahoma from its earliest territorial days. In 1896 he was 
elected representative from Noble county to the Fourth Territorial 
Assembly. He was elected speaker pro tem, and was chairman of the 
Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence. He was re-elected to the 
Fifth Assembly, which was controlled by the republicans, and was

was defeated by William Cross for the democratic nomination for 
territorial delegate to Congress.

commissioner, Jack Love has seen many sides of life. He was born 
in San Augustin county, Texas, June 9th, 1857, subsequently removed 
to Washington county of the same state, where he received his edu- 
cation in the common schools, excepting ten months which he spent 
in the State Normal at Huntsville. For five years he taught school in 
Texas. Coming to Oklahoma in 1889, he located in Oklahoma City, 
and at the opening of the Cherokee strip went to Woodward county. 
He served as the first sheriff of that county, being appointed and after- 
wards elected to that office.

A. P. Watson, member of the Corporation Commission, has been 
a soldier, a farmer and a public officer. He was elected member of 
the corporation commission in 1907. Mr. Watson was born in Acworth, 
Georgia, June 11, 1848, and was educated in the common schools of 
that country. At the age of sixteen he enlisted in the Confederate 
army and during the last eight months of the war commanded a com- 
pany of sixteen-year-old boys. In 1867 he removed to Mississippi with 
his parents, where he resided until coming to Oklahoma.

ol the Miners' Union, and a committee of miners, to represent the 
Miners' Union in the strike of that year. In 1900 he located in Madill, 
Okla., was later elected member of the Constitutional Convention, 
afterwards appointed assistant attorney general, and assigned the 
duties of counsel to the Corporation Commission. He assisted in 
preparing and presenting the two-cent fare and rate cases in the

Missouri, in 1864, and was reared on a farm. He came to Oklahoma 
in 1893, made the race in the Cherokee strip and secured a claim near 
Perry, Noble county, which claim he still holds. 



GILES W. FARRIS. 

State Printer. 

Reared in the print shop, knowing the newspaper and printing 
game from "devil" to manager of a large plant, Giles W. Farris offers 
services to the state that have been highly paid for by men who 
recognize ability. Farris was born in Green county, Missouri in 1874. 
When eleven years of age he entered the Springfield (Mo.,) Express' 
office and learned the trade. He came to Oklahoma ten years ago, 
working in Oklahoma City, El Reno and Lawton. He located in Man- 
gum eight years ago and assumed the foremanship of the Mangum 
Star. He had charge of the mechanical department of that paper for 
some time and was afterwards placed in entire management. Later 
he was selected editor and manager and elected to the office of state 
printer in 1910.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 167 



UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA 

(Norman, Okla.) 



The State University was founded by an act of the legislature of 
the Territory of Oklahoma, entitled "An Act to Locate and Establish 
the University of Oklahoma." The act provided that when Ten Thou- 
sand Dollars and forty acres of land should be given to the Territory 
of Oklahoma by the City of Norman, the school should be located at 
that place. These requirements were met and the university was 
established in 1892. The university is a part of the public educational 
system of the state and the governing board of the institution is the 
State Board of Education, consisting of the Superintendent of Public 
Instruction and six members, appointed by the governor. 

In the spring of 1893, work was begun on the first building. The 
institution was organized in the following summer, and in September 
opened its doors. Colleges and schools have developed in the follow- 
ing order: The College of Arts and Sciences, 1893, four-year plan; 
the School of Pharmacy, two-year plan, 1893, four-year plan, 1908; 
graduate work, 1899, the graduate school being organized separately 
in 1909; the School of Medicine, first two years' work, 1900, third and 
fourth years, 1910; the School of Fine Arts, 1903; the School of Applied 
Science and the School of Mines, 1904, reorganized as the College of 
Engineering, 1909; the summer session, 1908; the School of Law, 1909; 
and the School of Teaching, 1909. 

David Ross Boyd was president of the university from 1892 to 1908. 
Arthur Grant Evans was elected to the presidency in June, 1908, hold-

STATE MEDICAL SCHOOL. 



Norman and Oklahoma City, Okla. 

The State Medical School was originally made a part of the State 
University at Norman. The last two years of the course was given 
at Oklahoma City, the division line being drawn in a general manner 
after the idea that the clinical work be given at the latter place, in 
order that patients might be obtained for demonstration. Arrange- 
ment was made that these years of the course of study should be fol- 
lowed at Epworth University, with the preliminary two at Norman. 
This arrangement continued until the fall of 1911, when provision was 
made for the last two years of study to be followed at Rolater's Hos-

UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY SCHOOL. 

The Oklahoma University Preparatory School was founded and 
located at Tonkawa by the following enactment of the Territorial 
Legislature of 1901: 

"There is hereby created and established a University Prepara- 
tory School for the Territory of Oklahoma, which shall be located 
within one mile from the corporate. limits of the town of Tonkawa, in 
Kay County, in the Territory of Oklahoma, to be known as the Univer- 
sity Preparatory School." 

Complying with the conditions of the Act creating the school, the 
town of Tonkawa donated tw^enty acres of land adjoining the town to 
the east. Upon this site the first Board of Regents constructed a sub- 
stantial four-story building, 54x96 feet, of limestone and pressed brick, 
which cost $23,000.00 

The Legislature of 1905 gave the school an appropriation of $60,- 
000.00 for additional buildings. The heating plant and south hall were 
begun in September, 1906, and were finished about one year later. 

The Enabling Act gave to the school 150,000 acres of lands in 
western Oklahoma. 

A special Act of Congress, approved June, 1911, donated the school 
section thirty-three, adjacent to the town of Tonkawa, for building pur- 
poses. The Legislature ratified this donation and loaned the school 
enough money to pay for the improvements on the land. In the fall 
of 1909 this land, with the exception of forty acres which was retained 
for additional campus, was sold at public auction, the loan returned to 
the State, and plans perfected for the erection of two new buildings 
from the proceeds. These buildings, a boys' gymnasium, costing $18,- 
00 and a class room building, costing $44,000, have been completed. 
The gymnasium has been in use during the last year and the class 
room building will be ready for occupancy this fall.

EASTERN UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY SCHOOL. 

The Eastern University Preparatory School, at Claremore, Okla- 
homa, was established by Act of the Legislature of 1909. Under the 
terms of this Act, thirty thousand dollars was appropriated for a main 
building and thirty-two thousand dollars for the years 1909-1910, and 
1910-1911 for maintenance, conditioned upon the presentation of a site 
by the City of Claremore of not less than thirty-five acres of land. 
Immediately upon the acceptance of the site by the Board of Regents, 
the city of Claremore offered its spacious and commodious 
High School building for the use of teachers and students until the 
State building was completed. The extraordinary session of the Legis- 
lature of 1910 appropriated an additional sum of thirty-eight thousand 
dollars for building and equipment. Twenty thousand dollars of this 
sum has been used in enlarging the building and the remainder di- 
vided into two portions — eleven thousand five hundred dollars for 
the heating plant and six thousand five hundred for equipment.

OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL 
COLLEGE 

Stillwater, Oklahoma. 



The State Agricultural and Mechanical College is a State and 
Federal institution of higher learning, offering industrial, scientific 
and liberal education to white persons fourteen years of age or over. 
It also conducts extensive investigations and carries forward research 
work to establish new scientific truths of value to the people of 
Oklahoma. 

The college was organized in 1891 and located at Stillwater, Payn© 
County, and after twenty years of sturdy effort, now consists of sixty- 
one professors and instructors, 1,848 students attending last year, 
eleven large brick and stone buildings, with equipment valued at 
$175,000, and 1,000 acres of land. 

Tuition is free in all courses and departments. The college is 
supported by the federal, government and by the state of Oklahoma 
as a part of the free school system. It owes its origin to a bill of- 
fered by Unite! States Senator Morrill, of Vermont, in 1862, which 
provided funds to' one such institution of learning in each state of 
the union, and set aside certain public lands from which endowments 
have come to each of these state and federal colleges. Therefore, 
these institutions are known as "The Land Grant Colleg?s." The Na- 
tional Grange gave the "Morrill Bill'' ccdial support and was largely 
instrumental in securing its final passage. 

This Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1862, gave to each state 
which accepted its provisions, 30,000 acres of government land for 
each representative in Congress, the proceeds to be applied to the en- 
dowment and maintenance of colleges. 

"Where the leading object shall be, without excluding the other 
scientific and classic studies, and including military tactics, to teach 
such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic 
arts * * * in order to promote the liberal and practical educa- 
tion of the industrial classes in the various pursuits and professions 
of life." 

Again, in 1887, Congress provided for an agricultural experiment 
station in connection with each of the land grant colleges. 

The first legislature of the Territory of Oklahoma adopted a res- 
olution assenting to and accepting the provisions of Congress and 
established the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, De- 
cember 25, 1890. Congress, also, provided 250.000 acres of land as a 
permanent endowment for the college in the Enabling Act, granting 
statehood to Oklahoma. 



176 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

The Oklahoma constitution provides that the State Board of Ag- 
riculture shall be the Board of Regents of the A. & M. College. 

The college carries on many lines of work not commonly known 
as school work, though truly educational in all respects. The manage- 
ment assists in the educational work in behalf of grown people who 
may lack spare time to attend college, by sending oat point ted and 
practical literature, by supplying well informed lecturers to popular 
gatherings and to meetings of farmers' and teachers' institutes or 
other conventions, under conditions favorable to profitable presenta- 
tion and discussion of the subjects. The acts of Congress and the 
state legislature make certain forms of this college extension work 
obligatory. 

Land and Buildings. 

The campus, farm, and experiment grounds embrace a tract of 
1,000 acres. The present buildings were erected by the state at a 
cost of over $341,000, and they are euipped with the latest and best 
appliances and apparatus, representing an outlay by the state and 
federal governments of approximately $175,000. All buildings are 
steam heated, electric lighted, and have sewer connections. The do- 
mestic Science Hall and girls' dormitory cost $62,000. This new build- 
ing is the most complete, modern and convenient structure on the 
college grounds. 

Twenty-five thousand dollars has been devoted to the erection of 
a dormitory hall, to be used as a home for young men. 

The college has a library of 14,120 volumes, besides some 30,000 
unbound publications. All of the desirable current publications are 
received. Two specially fitted rooms of large dimensions are de- 
voted to library use.

CENTRAL STATE NORMAL 

Edmond. Oklahoma. 



The Central Normal School was located at Edmond by the Ter- 
ritorial Legislature of 1890, providing for the instruction of both men 
and women in the art of teaching, and in all branches of learning 
which pertain to a good common school education, also to give instruc- 
tion in the theory and practice of teaching. For the purpose of lo- 
cating the school, forty acres was furnished, lying within one mile of 
the city of Edmond. Ten. acres of the land were reserved as a site 
for the buildings, the remainder being platted into lots and blocks for 
sale, from which funds were received to aid the support of the in- 
stitution, according to the provisions of the act passed. 

The property of the State at the institution now consists of thir- 
teen acres of land, two three-story buildings and a heating plant, with 
furniture and equipment. The Territory of Oklahoma appropriated 
approximately $55,000.00 for buildings, the County of Oklahoma gave 
$5,000 in bonds, and the city of Edmond gave $2,000 in bonds. Twenty- 
seven of the original forty acres were platted and sold, the money 
derived from the sales being used in the construction of the North 
building. 

Estimated Value of Property. 

Thirteen acres of land $50,000.00 

South building 37,500.00 

North building. 30,000.00 

Heating plant 10,000.00 

Furniture and equipment 23,000.00 

Total $151,000.00 

The first Normal building, constructed of brick, was completed 
in 1893; the wings, built of stone, were erected in 1894 and 1895. In 
order to raise the money for this building, the Board of Regents sold 
the platted lots and the legislature appropriated $15,000. The North 
building thus constructed, contains sixteen class rooms, a large room 
for the manual training department, antl a large gymnasium. 

To relieve the crowded condition and to increase the facilities 
for instruction, the legislature in 1903 made an appropriation of $40,000 
for the erection of an additional building. The structure is of pressed 
brick and stone. It has an assembly room with a seating capacity of 
800 persons, two laboratories, reception hall, president's office, reading 
room, and thirteen recitation rooms. 

The institution is equipped with four laboratories— chemical, phy- 
sical, agricultural and biological. 

A manual training school with a kindergarten department has 
been established.

EAST CENTRAL STATE NORMAL 

Ada, Oklahoma. 



On the last day of the regular session of the Second Legislature 
a bill was passed, creating the sixth State Normal School and locating 
it at Ada, the county seat of Pontatoc County. The bill carried an 
appropriation of $100,000 for the erection of a building. 

The general appropriation bill had already been passed and no 
provision was made for maintenance and equipment. The citizens of 
Ada were enxious to have the school start on an equal footing with 
other new normals, and they proposed to the Board of Regents to 
advance the money necessary for the conduct of the school until the 
legislature should meet and make an appropriation. The board then 
elected a president and faculty, and the first session of the school 
opened September 20, 1909, in the Ada High School building, which 
had just been completed. 

The first year's work was fraught with the usual difficulties 
incident to perfecting the organization and woi'king with inadequate 
equipment. But in spite of these difficulties, 5lt) pupils were enrolled 
representing twenty-one counties of Oklahoma and eight different 
states. At the close of the opening term, six pupils completed the 
course of study and were granted diplomas. 

The contract for the new building was let in October, 1909, and 
was completed in July, 1910. The campus comprises twenty acres, 
donated by the citizens of Ada. The building is a magnificent struc- 
ture of pressed brick and reinforced concrete construction, including 
thirty-nine recitation rooms, offices and other apartments, with a large 
library, and an assembly hall with a seating capacity of 2.000 persons. 

The special session of the legislature, which was convened in 
1910, made an appropriation for maintenance and equipment. The 
bill carried $15,000 for equipment and furniture. This amount 'has 
been expended in equipping the departments of domestic science, 
manual training, physics, chemistry, biology and agriculture. 

The object of the school, as instituted by law, is to prepare teach- 
ers for service in the schools of the state. 

The Third Legislature appropriated .$60,000 for the conduct of the 
school for the next two years. This is derived in part from the gen- 
eral fund and in part from revenue derived from rentals. 

The State Board of Education announced the following faculty for 
the school year beginning July 1, 1911:

NORTHEASTERN STATE NORMAL 

Tahlequah, Oklahoma. 



The Northeastern State Normal was established at Tahlequah by 
an act of the State Legislature in March, 1909. The bill establishing 
the school carried an appropriation of $45,000 for the purchase of the 
Cherokee National Female Seminary building and forty acres of land 
belonging thereto. There was also appropriated at the same time 
the sum of $70,000 for maintenance the first two years. The Board 
of Regents met at Guthrie April 7, 1909, and elected the first faculty. 

The building is a three-story brick and stone structure, steam 
heated, and supplied with pure spring water. The building is the larg- 
est single school structure in the State and was erected in 1889, by 
the Cherokee Nation, at a cost of $100,000. 

Tahlequah is located thirty-five miles east of Muskogee and the 
same distance from the eastern line of the State. It is seventy-five 
miles south of the Kansas line, is the county seat of Cherokee County, 
and the capital of the old Cherokee Nation. Its location makes it an 
ideal college town. The natural scenery is unexcelled and the eleva- 
tion insures excellent drainage and a pleasant and healthful climate.

NORTHWESTERN STATE NORMAL 

Alva, Oklahoma. 



The Northwestern State Normal School was established by an 
act of the Territorial Legislature in 1897, and was located at Alva. 
When the school was established at Alva the town was very small, 
but it has grown repidly, until it has a population of over 6,000. 

An act of the first legislature of the State of Oklahoma has con- 
firmed the Northwestern Normal School as one of the permanent state 
educational institutions. The school has been enlarged by the ad 
dition of many important departments of instruction, and is prepared 
to offer its students enlarged opportunities for education such as 
will enable its graduates to measure up to the modern requirements 
of intensive, as well as extensive scholarship. 

The central heating plant, erected at a cost of $20,000, is designed 
to furnish heat to the buildings now in use or to such as may here- 
after be constructed. The boilers and engines are of ample capacity, 
and the design of the buildings includes room for the electric plant 
soon to be installed. 

The school plant at present consists of three buildings situated 
upon a beautiful tract of forty acres on the south side of town. 

The first normal building was erected in 1898, at a cost of more 
than $100,000 and is easily the handsomest school edifice in the south- 
west. This building is occupied by the departments of English, 
mathematics, history, geography, oratory, music, fine arts, domestic 
science and art, agriculture and commercial department, and the 
administrative offices of the president and registrar. An auditorium 
with a seating capacity of 800 is the most conspicuous feature of 
the interior of the building. 

The science hall is a commodious building devoted to the depart- 
ments of biology, physical science, manual training, pedagogy and 
training school, and the library. It is fitted with ample equipment 
in laboratories for chemistry, physics, zoology, and botany, with the 
museum of natural history, and with shops of manual training.

SOUTHWESTERN STATE NORMAL 

Weatherford, Oklahoma. 



Weatherford, the home of the Southwestern Normal School, is 
well located geographically for the students of western and south- 
western Oklahoma. The school has two buildings adequate for pres- 
ent needs. In 1903 the administration hall was built at the cost of 
$37,500. It has two full stories besides a basement and chapel, with 
a steating capacity of 500. With the exception of the president's suite 
of offices, this building is used as a recitation hall. 

East of the administration building is science hall, completed in 
1910, at a cost of $100,000. The training school and the auditorium, 
seating 1,750 persons, are in this hall. 

Five thousand volumes are at the service of the student body in 
the library. English literature, German, philosophy, economics, soci- 
ology, education, psychology, history, agriculture, etc., treated by the 
best authors, are to be found. 

A quarter mile oval running track, a baseball diamond, a football 
gridiron, tennis courts, basketball space, are among the conveniences 
which help the open air work of the student. Experienced coaches 
direct and supervise the athletic work. 

As the school is liberal in education aside from that actually 
sought in books, all organizations which tend to develop the spiritual 
life are supported. A Young Men's Christian Association was organ- 
ized seven years ago, the Young Women's Christian Association one 
year later.

OKLAHOMA INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE AND COLLEGE 

FOR GIRLS 

Chickasha, Oklahoma. 



The Oklahoma Industrial Institute and College for Girls had its 
origin in Senate Bill No. 249, introduced by Senator W. P. Stewart, 
of Hugo, and approved May 16, 1908. The institution was located by 
the legislature in the city of Chickasha, which donated twenty acres 
of land for the campus on the outskirts of the city, and another tract 
of one hundred and forty acres in the country. The value of the cam- 
pus is estimated at $20,000, and the outlying land at $12,000. 

The first session of school opened in five rooms of the ChickasJia 
High School building, September 14, 1909. The second years' work, 
beginning September 20, 1910, was carried on in the First Baptist 
Church, in a near-by apartment house, and in rooms of the Chickasha 
Business College. 

The administration building, costing $100,000, was dedicated with 
appropriate exercises, May 16, 1911, and, after a two years' career 
in scattered and rented quarters, the third session of the college opened 
in its own home, September 12, 1911. 

In the spring of 1911, a landscape architect was employed to plat 
the grounds and the sites of the buildings which will necessarily fol- 
low in the development of the institution. Cement walks are to be 
laid, drives made and trees and shrubbery planted. 

A special appropriations has been made for the library and liberal 
courses are offered in all departments, both literary and technical. 

The enrollment for the session 1909-1910 was 120, and for the ses- 
sion 1910-11911, 138.

STATE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 

Sulphur, Oklahoma. 



The Legislature of 1908-1909 permanently located this institution 
at Sulphur and the special session of 1910 brought an appropriation 
of $100,000 for buildings. The permanent site is immediately outside 
the eastern limits of the city of Sulphur, where the State has been 
given sixty acres of land with an option on forty acres more. The 
elevation affords a view of the country for miles, and the land adjoins 
Piatt National Park, 

The school follows what is known as the combined system. There 
are two departments — the manual and the oral. The oral department 
proposes to teach Its students to talk and to educate them by speech; 
the manual department trains its students by finger spelling and by 
signs. 

The enrollment for the school year of 1908 1909 was 200, 90 boys 
and 110 girls, and the enrollment for 1909-1910 was 232, thirty pupils 
failing to return and 65 new ones were enrolled.

OKLAHOMA SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND 

Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. 



The origin of the institution, which has come to be known as the 
Oklahoma School for the Blind, is to be associated with the name of 
Miss Lura A. Rowland, now Mrs. Lura A. Lowrey. Mrs. Lowrey, a 
graduate of the Arkansas School for the Blind, undertook in 1897, the 
establishment of a school for the blind in the Indian Territory. The 
school was organized, having a board of directors, and was known as 
the International School for the Blind. 

Mrs. Lowrey traveled extensively in the Territory, and by various 
means, secured funds with which to equip a building for formal open- 
ing. The school was formally opened at Fort Gibson, in what was 
known as the Barracks building, with an enrollment of ten pupils, 
January 3. 1898. For approximately ten years the school was con- 
ducted under the direct supervision of Mrs. Lowery. There were in 
all, eleven terms, comprising each from six weeks to nine months 
duration. The school, being a private institution, was supported by 
private and puolic subscription. The Cherokee and Choctaw Nations 
appropriated for several years from thhree to six hundred dollars per 
annum for the maintenance of the school. Mrs. Lowery made repeat- 
ed etiorts to secure an appropriation from Congress — all of which were 
unsuccessful. 

Mrs. Lowery, having resigned, was succeeded by C. E. Harmon, 
July 1, 1907. He moved the school, December 14, from Fort Gibson to 
Wagoner, at which place it remained until July, 1908, when it was re- 
located at Fort Gibsun. 

The First Legislature of the State of Oklahoma appropriated 
$5,000, the act being approved May 29, 1908, for the maintenance of 
"The Lura A. Lowery School for the Blind," and provided in the same 
act, that the school should be under the control of the State Board of 
Education. In July, 1908, George W. Bruce was elected, by the board, 
president of the school. Under the new management, the school was 
opened October 15, 1908, in two residence buildings, with an enroll- 
ment of thirty-three pupils. Bruce served as president of the school 
until June 30, 1911. During his three years' presidency, the maximum 
enrollment was forty-two. The State Board of Education, on May 25, 
1911, elected as superintendent of the Oklahoma School for the Blind, 
which name was given to the institution, Oscar W. Stewart, who be- 
gan his duties July 1, 1911. 

The Legislature of 1909 and 1911 each appropriated money for 
the maintenance of the school for the blind, but declined to perma- 
nently locate it. The school is being conducted in buildings formerly 
occupied by officers when a United States fort was maintained at Fort 
Gibson. 

Superintendent Stewart is a graduate of the Texas School for the 
Blind, and has been for several years unofficially active in behalf of 



EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 199 

the welfare of this school. Upon taking charge, he immediately ar- 
ranged for other buildings and now there is capacity for sixty pupils. 
The State Board of Education prescribed the course of study in 
the literary department to be that of the common and high schools 
of the State, and plans are under way whereby the school will be 
technically articulated with the. State University. Thorough courses 
in music, piano tuning and repairing, weaving, sewing and typewrit- 
ing, are given in this school. The eligibility of pupils has been stated 
as follow^s: "All persons over six and under twenty-one years of age, 
who are of such mental and physical ability as to enable them to do 
systematic study, whose vision is so impaired as to make it impossible 
for them to attend the schools for the sighted, are proper persons to 
be received in the school for the blind."

COLORED AGRICULTURAL AND NORMAL 
UNIVERSITY 

Langston, Oklahoma. 



This institution was established at Langston by an act of the 
Territorial Legislature in 1897, for the purpose of giving the negroes 
of Oklahoma, normal collegiate, industrial and agricultural training. 
Forty acres of land for building and agricultural purposes were do- 
nated by the people of Langston and its immediate vicinity. The same 
legislature which established the school, appropriated the sum of 
$5,000 for its benefit, but this amount proved inadequate for the 
erection of a suitable building, the employment of teachers and the 
purchase of necessary aquipment. At this time, the land lease money 
was so divided among the territorial institutions as to make it pos- 
sible for the school to continue its work without serious embarass- 
ment until an appropriation could be made for its support by the 
next legislature. 

The legislature which met in 1899, made an appropriation of $10,- 
000 for building purposes, provided a tax levy on one-tenth of a mill, 
set apart one-fifth of the land lease money and one-tenth of the amount 
which was given the Territory annually by the Federal Government, 
in compliance with the Morrill Act, and made an appropriation of 
$15,000 from the accrued Morrill fund for the maintenance and equip- 
ment of the university. 

Owing to the fact that this last appropriation was not approved 
by the Secretary of the Interior because he was of the opinion that 
it was made in violation of law, the regents, at the suggestion of 
Governor Barnes, adopted a resolution asking the delegate in Congress 
to introduce a bill providing for the ratification of that part of the 
act of the ligislature which contained the appropriation. The bill 
passed. 

Two new buildings were then erected — a dormitory for young 
women and a mechanic arts building, and the amount of acreage was 
increased to one hundred and sixty acres. 

The First Legislature of the State of Oklahoma appropriated a 
fraction over $40,000 for the maintenance of the university for the 
year 1908-1909, which amount, added to the income from the rental 
of section thirteen and from the Morrill fund, raised the total annual 
income to $48,000. 

To relieve the crowded condition, due to the destruction by fire 
of the main building in November, 1907, and to the increased attend- 
ance, the same legislature, also, appropriated $100,000 for the erec- 
tion of a new main building and for additional improvements. The 
enrollment totals 673 students. The Second Legislature appropriated 
$85,000 for maintenance and improvements, and the Third. $82,400.

OKLAHOMA HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE 

Supply, Oklahoma. 



The territorial legislature in 1905 accepted an offer made by 
Congress to grant to the territory the use of Fort Supply Military 
Reservation and the buildings thereon for the purpose of an insane 
asylum. The site of the institution is one of considerable interest 
from an historical viewpoint. It is located in Woodward County. 

Many of the expeditions of the United States regular army against 
the marauding bands of the socalled wild plains Indians used Fort 
Supply as their base of supply. General Custer, the noted Indian 
fighter, who later met death at the battle of the Little Big Horn, at 
one time was stationed for a short period on the reservation. The 
house used by him as his home is now the residence of Dr. E. G. New- 
ell, superintendent of the institution. 

The management and control of the hospital is vested in the 
Board of Trustees, composed of the governor, who shall be ex-officio 
chairman, and two other persons of different political affiliations, ap- 
pointed by the governor.

homa one hundred and sixty acres of land in fee simple and that 
the town should furnish the institution with flowing artesian water. 
The control and management of the hospital is vested in a board of 
three trustees appointed by the governor, with the advice and con- 
sent of the senate. The buildings are, so far, incomplete and the 
officers of the institution consist of the three members of the board 
of trustees: Oliver Bagby, chairman, Vinita; C. L. Long, Wewoka; 
and J. J. Maroney, Okmulgee. Provision is made in the law creating 
the institution for the appointment of a medical superintendent and 
steward, and such other subordinate officers as are necessary.

OKLAHOMA SANITARIUM 

Norman, Oklahoma. 



The Oklahoma hospital for insane at Norman, Oklahoma, is lo- 
cated on a tract of land just east and immediately adjoining the City 
of Norman. The grounds are high and dry and command an excel- 
lent view of the -surrounding country. 

The main building is of brick and stone, three stories and a 
basement. The front of the ground floor is used for offices, recep- 
tion rooms, prescription department, and laboratory; the basement 
for store room. The upper stories are used as wards for the care of 
the patients. m 

Besides the main building there are three two-story and seven 
one-story buildings, which are" also used for wards. All of these are 
well lighted and ventilated. On the grounds there are two buildings 
for the officers and many others for commissary, work shops, stor- 
age roooms, etc., covering about thirty acres of ground. The rest of 
the vacant land is used for garden, parade grounds, etc. 

During 1910 a large two-story building was added, which accom- 
modates about eighty patients. This building is used exclusively for 
the reception of new patients. 



Appropriations. 

H. B. No. 557 — Support and maintenance $300,000.00 

S. B. No. 209— Deficiency 23,000.00 



(Note) — This hospital is a private institution but appropriations are 
made by the legislature for the care of state patients who are con- 
fined there, it thus becoming a semi-state institution, ^he Territory 
cf Oklahoma made a contract with the company operating the institu- 
tion in May, 1901, for keeping the insane patients of the state until 
the state institution for the insane located at Fort Supply should be 
constructed. The original contract was for a term of four years but 
the legislature of 1903 extended the time of the contract until the 
state institution should be completed and a railroad built to Fort 
Supply. A gradual transfer of the patients is being made.

OKLAHOMA INSTITUTION FOR FEEBLE MINDED 

Enid, Oklahoma. 



By an act of the 1909 legislature, section 33, township 23 north of 
range 6, west of the Indian Meridian of Garfield county was desig- 
nated as the site for the Oklahoma Institution for Feeble Minded. 
The commissioner of the land office was authorized to empower the 
tract of land to the state, and the City of Enid agreed to settle the 
claims of the school land leasees who were in possession of the 
tract. 

The institution is under the general charge and control of a 
Board of Managers, consisting of five persons, of which the governor 
is the ex-officio chairman. The four remaining members of the board 
are appointed by the governor by and with the advice and consent of 
the senate, and the tenure of office is two years. 

The purpose of the institution is to care for the feeble minded be- 
tween the ages of sixteen and forty-five years. It is divided into two 
departments, a training school and an asylum department.

OKLAHOMA STATE CONFEDERATE HOME 

Ardmore, Oklahoma. 



By provision of an act of the state legislature in 1910, the prop- 
erty of the Confederate Veteran Home Association at Ardmore, Ok- 
lahoma, as designated and proposed in the articles of incorporation 
of that association, was made a charitable institution of the state, 
the state agreeing to maintain the home for a period of twenty-five 
years. The purpose of the institution, as outlined in the legislative 
enactment, is to care for the indigent and disabled soldiers and sailors 
who enlisted, served or participated as a soldier or sailor in the navy 
of the Confederate States during the Civil War, and also for the aged 
wives and widows of such soldiers and sailors. 

The association conveyed to the state twenty acres of land and 
the legislature in turn provided an appropriation of twenty-thousand 
dollars for the support of the institution for the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1911. The third legislature made an appropriation in 1911, 
of fifteen thousand dollars for each year of the biennial period, end- 
ing June 30, 1913, in H. B. No. 557, for the support and maintenance 
of the institution. 

The control of the institution is vested in a board of control, 
composed of seven members. The names of the members of the 
board and their addresses are: 

Dr. John M. Threadgill Oklahoma City. 

N. F. Hancock Muskogee.

priation of $5,000.00 to aid in the support of the institution for the 
fiscal years of 1912 and 1913. 

There is a two and a-half story building provided for the chil- 
dren. Nineteen are enrolled at the present time and the institution 
has already cared for approximately 100 children. The property of 
the home is valued at .$7,500.00. Seven acres of land is owned and a 
small printing plant for the publication of the Orphans' Home Journal

PENAL INSTITUTIONS 227 



STATE PENITENTIARY 

McAlester, Oklahoma. 



In January, 1909, before the penitentiary buildings were completed 
six hundred and forty-three men were brought to McAlester from the 
Kansas State penitentiary, and were 1 eld in a temporary wooden cell 
house, without cells or protection of any kind of walls except a guard 
line of armed men. The prisoners were fed and housed at a great 
hazard. Time and again mutiny started and it required men of strong 
courage to stay among them and keep down attempts of concerted 
breaks. It is now looked upon as a miracle that the desperate crimi- 
nals were held by only a few men without a single escape. It was only 
by appealing to the better senses of the men and keeping them in 
good humor that a wholesale delivery was prevented. 

As soon as arrangements could be made, a temporary wire fence 
was thrown around the buildings and charged with electricity. This 
fence was fourteen feet high, of barbed wire four inches apart. Pris- 
oners experimented with It until they found that to touch it meant 
death and after that time it became a secure wall. 

Temporary cells and plumbing followed and attention was then 
turned to building the new penitentiary. As soon as plans could 
be completed and approved, the work of construction was begun in 
June, 1909. The prison walls enclose a fraction less than ten acres 
of ground. It is of concrete piers and slab3 eighteen feet above the 
grade line on the inside of the grounds, and twenty-four feet on the 
outside, and goes eight feet below the surface. 

The State Board of Public Affairs advertised for bids in October, 
lyiU, for the administration building and the west cell wing. The admiii- 
istration building has a frontage of eighty feet, a depth of sixty-eight 
feet, and is two stories high with a basement. It is, also, built of 
concrete and ceiled throughout with tool proof grating. 

The cell wing is 240 by 58 feet, four stories high and mostly of 
steel. The outside window gratings are twenty-eight feet high and 
of tool proof steel. The windows are operated by a patent window 
opening device. Between the guards and prisoners' corridors, tool 
proof grating is used. There are four tiers of cells on each side, each 
tier containing forty cells or three hundred and twenty in all. The 
cells are of Bessemer steel three-eighths of an inch in thickness with 
tool proof grating doors operated by a Pauly automatic device. The 
cell floor carries four inches of concrete and finish above the steel 
plate. Each cell is equipped with two bunks, toilet, lavatory and is 
lighted by electricity. The contract for these two buildings was 
awarded for a contract price of $267,000.00. 

In March, 1911, the prisoners which were held at the old Federal 
jail in McAlester were moved to the new penitentiary. 

The east cell wing is now under way of construction. The state 
is doing this work independent of contract. This cell wing is to be 
an exact duplicate of the west cell wing except the dungeons and 
work cells are to be in the basement.

to the grounds will be handled by this locking device. And all the 
prisoners passing in and out will be registered. 

A temporary dining hall has been erected which seats the 1,063 
prisoners now at the penitentiary. The laundry is in the rear of the 
temporary dining hall. A model prison hospital has also been planned 
and a power and storage plant where ice and electricity for the light 
and power service of the institution will be manufactured. It is now 
in course of construction. A woman's building, under separate wall, 
is also in course of construction. Six work shops also will be built 
inside of the north wall, each large enough to accommodate about 
one hundred men at work. 

A force of nearly one hundred convicts were put to worK on 
the construction of roads around and through the farm and nearly 
fourteen miles of first class wagon road has been built. Pittsburg 
county furnished two bridges, and the roads are the best and most 
permanent in the state. 

Tte farm is to be the chief support of the institution. Under the 
Constitution, convict labor is limited practically to farm and road work. 
In order to make the institution self sustaining, many departments 
have been planned for the farm. It is gradually being stocked with 
poultry and livestock. Several hundred head of fine hogs are raised 
each year, and all the meat for the institution in course of time will 
be produced upon this farm. 

In order to properly drain and shape up the farm, it was found 
necessary to straighten creeks, and drains, and in places to construct 
entirely new ones. About two miles of this work was done, some of 
it very heavy, creeks being walled to a depth of ten or twelve feet, 
and old channels refilled. 

In order to insure a permanent supply of water, an artificial lake 
has been constructed by building a dam between two hills. This lake 
will drain a water shed of 600 acres, and when filled will cover about 
ten acres to a maximum depth of eighteen feet. It is proposed to 
establish a water system which will serve to irrigate a portion of the 
penitentiary farm, as well as furnish water for domestic purposes. 

The first year the farm was put in cultivation proved very suc- 
cessful, although the season was a bad one, and a large amount of 
vegetables and forage was raised. A large force of prisoners are 
still engaged in improving the farm, and also in excavating and grad- 
ing around the penitentiary property. 

There have been five wagon bridges constructed along the road 
surrounding the farm, and several more are contemplated. This work 
was done entirely with prison labor. 

From the beginning of the penitentiary, a prison shoe shop has 
been operated, wherein all the shoes used by inmates of the institution 
are manufactured. 

A tailor shop is also in operation in which is manufactured all of 
the underwear, shirts, overalls, caps, and a large portion of the 
prison clothing. It is proposed to enlarge this department in order 
that all of the clothing used by the inmates may be made by them. 

A large amount of sugar cane was raised during the past year, 
and a cane mill was installed. This mill enabled the officers to make 
sufficient molasses to supply the needs of the prison. 



PENAL INSTITUTIONS 229 

Eighl hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been appropriated 
for penitentiary building purposes, of which about $650,000 has been 
expended in the erection of said buildings and improvements up to 
the present time, and $20,000 which was appropriated for the pur- 
chase of. land, has also been expended. 

It is estimated that the balance in the above mentioned appropria- 
tion will complete the rotunda, east cell wing, power plant, mess hall, 
hospital, woman's building' and stables, all of which are now in course 
of construction. 

Owing to the fact that all of the common labor used in the con- 
struction of the Oklahoma State Penitentiary was done by convicts, 
the estimated value of the buildings are far in excess of their actual 
cost. 

An estimated value of the land, buildings which have been erected 
and are now in course of erection, and improvements, follow^: 

Administration building $ 250,000.00 

West cell wing 200,000.00

OKLAHOMA STATE REFORMATORY 

Granite, Oklahoma. 



An act creating and locating the Oklahoma State Reformatory 
was passed by the Second State Legislature in 1908, and an appropria- 
tion of $50,000 made for buildings and equipment. Temporary build- 
ings were erected and the first installment of prisoners were received 
by transfer from the McAlester penitentiary in April, 1910. 

The Third Legislature made an appropriation of $325,000 for per- 
manent buildings which are now under construction. 

First term prisoners, sixteen to twenty-five years of age inclusive, 
and not to exceed five-year sentences, are eligible to admission to this 
institution either by direct commitment of the courts or by order of 
the Board of Prison Control. 

The institution is now governed by the same laws that apply to 
the State Penitentiary, but as soon as suitable buildings and facilities 
are provided the legislature will be asked to enact special measures 
that will enable the institution to be conducted as a modern reform- 
atory. 

The number of inmates (June 30, 1911) was 361. There are about 
150 more at the State Penitentiary eligible for admission who cannot 
be transferred on account of insufficient quarters. 

Sam M. Flournoy of Elk City, Okla., was appointed warden at 
the creation of the institution. He was succeeded in September, 1910, 
by Clyde A. Reed of Mountain View, the present warden.

OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY 



The Oklahoma Historical Society was organized at a meeting of 
the Territorial Press Association in Kingfisher, May 27, 1893, and 
was inaugurated as an adjunct to that body under the title, "Historical 
Society of the Oklahoma Press Association." 

W. P. iCampbell, at that time connected with the register of deeds 
office at Kingfisher, undertook the prosecution of the work. J. B. Camp- 
bell, a brother, now a member of the State legislature, was register. 
He offered room in the register's office for storage. Effort was 
made to collect and preserve copies of every publication in the 
commonwealth, including the Indian Territory so that a file could 
always be found for future generations and incidentally to collect 
and preserve all other matters of a historic, relic or curious interest. 

During the legislature of 1895, a similar, society was organized by 
the faculty and students of the University at Norman. Custodian 
Campbell co-operated with the new organization, an appropriation 
was secured, and the collection was taken to Norman where it 
remained until completion of the Carnegie building at Oklahoma 
City, which institution sought and obtained through a special act 
removal of headquarters to the present location in the Carnegie 
building. 

It was made the trustee of the State in caring for valuable docu- 
ments by the Territorial Legislature of 1895, which provided in the 
session laws of that year that it should be the duty of the- society 
to collect books, maps and other papers and materials illustrative 
of the history of Oklahoma in particular and the west generally; 
to procure from the early settlers narratives of events relative to 
the early settlement of Oklahoma and to the early explorations. 
Indian occupancy and overland travel in the State and the west; and 
to collect documents of a varied nature such as to facilitate the 
investigation of historical, scientific, social, educational and literary 
subjects. 

The newspaper feature has always been zealously maintained, bo 
that there are now about six thousand bound volumes of these and 
kindred publications, and practically every publication, small and 
great, daily, weekly, monthly, etc., may be found on file as issued. 
Other features, however, have not been neglected, there being about 
twenty-five thousand titles covering every range of historic interest, 
the entire collection aggregating something like fourteen tons in 
weight. 

On removal of the collection to Norman, Mr. Campbell was re- 
tired, and W. T. Little became custodian, retaining the place until 
it was brought to Oklahoma City, January 1, 1901. Sidney Clarke 
was given charge and was succeeded at the end of the year by Mrs. 
Marion Rock. June 1, 1904, Mr. Campbell was induced to again take 
charge of the work, and has remained with it since that date. Miss 
Edith Rose Kneen has been assistant for the last four years. The 
society is controlled by a board chosen at annual meetings of the 
members and is maintained by membership fees and State appro- 
priations.

OKLAHOMA IN THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR 



The outbreak of the Spanish-American war in 1898 found thous- 
ands of young men in the Indian Territory and Oklahoma eager to en- 
list m the military service. Under the first call for volunteers two 
troops of cavalry were authorized, one in each territory. Under 
the second call Oklahoma was to raise a battalion of four companies 
which became a part of the First Regiment of Territorial Volunteers 
the other two battalions being raised in Arizona and New Mexico 
A number of young men in both Indian Territory and Oklahoma 
enhsted m the volunteer service from adjoining states 

The First Regiment of United State Volunteer Cavalry, since 
become famous as Roosevelt's Rough Riders' had in its consist 
several Oklahoma volunteers. A part of the regiment saw active 
service in Cuba, at Las Guasimas, El Caney and San Juan Hill. 

The Oklahoma troop was commanded by Captain Robert B. Huston 
of Guthrie. An attorney by profession, he took great interest in 
military affairs and held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the first 
mihtia regiment organized in Oklahoma. In the battle of San Juan 
Hill, he was m command of his battalion after Major Brodie was 
wounded. After the close of the war with Spain, he was re-com- 
missioned in the United States Volunteers for service in the Philio- 
pines where he died in 1900. 

Captain Allyn K. Capron, who organized and commanded the 
Indian Territory troop was born in 1870. His father was an officer 
in the regular army and he chose to follow the same profession. He 
enlisted in the regular army as a private and won his commission 
by promotion from the ranks, and was first lieutenant in the First 
Regular Cavalry, stationed at Fort Reno, at the outbreak of the war 
He was killed in the battle of San Juan Hill. Captains Huston and 
Capron were both regarded as fine officers and held the respect 
of their men. 

Oklahoma was a young commonwealth when the bugle sounded 
the call to war, but the pulses of many Oklahoma school boys were 
quickened by its notes. Among those who heard and answered the 
call was Roy Cashion of Hennessey, who had been graduated from 
the public schools of that town only the year before. Though but 
eighteen years old, he volunteered under the first call, and was 
enrolled and mustered into the service as a private in' the First 
Regiment of United States Volunteer Cavalry. With that command 
he went from the rendezvous at San Antonio, Texas, to Tampa 
Florida, and thence to the southern coast of Cuba with the army 
under General Shaffer. Beneath the tropical July sun on the charge 
up San Juan Hill, young Cashion was stricken with a Mauser bullet 
from the rifle of a Spanish sharp shooter— the first Oklahoma school 
boy to give his life for his country on a foreign soil. 

Buried by his comrades where he fell, the markings of his grave 
were lost for a time, and his father made a second trip to Cuba 
before it was found and identified. After the removal and re-interment 
of his body in the sun-kissed soil of his prairie homeland, the people 



244

of the community raised a subscription, which was afterwards sup- 
plemented by a legislative appropriation for the purpose of erecting 
a monument to his memory. 

The First Regiment of United States Volunteer Cavalry on the 
first call received a contingent of eighty men from Oklahoma. The 
officers commissioned for this troop and the men mustered in were 
as follows:

OKLAHOMA INDIANS IN MILITARY SERVICE DURING 
THE CIVIL WAR 



In all there were some twenty organizations effected among 
the Indian tribes of the Indian Territory for service with the Con- 
federate army. It is probable that the total number of Indians 
engaged in the war on the Confederate side was between 6,000 
and 7,000. 

The following list of such organizations has been compiled by 
the office of the Adjutant General of the United States army: 

First Cherokee Cavalry Battalion, Maj. Benj. W. Meyer; First 
Cherokee Cavalry Battalion, Maj. J. M. Bryan; First Cherokee Mounted 
Rifles (also called the Second — see Drew's Cherokee Mounted Rifles); 
First Cherokee Mounted Rifles, Col. Stand Watie; First Chickasaw 
Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. Col. Joseph D. Harris; First Chickasaw 
Cavalry Regiment, Col. Wm. L. Hunter; First Choctaw Cavalry Bat- 
talion (afterward the First Choctaw War Regiment), Lieut. Col, 
Franceway Battice; First Choctaw Battalion (afterwards Third Choc- 
taw Regiment), Lieut. Col. Jackson McCurtain; First Choctaw and 
Chickasaw Mounted Rifles, Col. Douglas H. Cooper; First Choctaw 
Cavalry War Regiment (in 1864 known as the Second Choctaw Regi- 
ment), Col. Simpson N. Folsom; First Choctaw Cavalry Regiment, 
Col. Sampson Folsom; First Seminole Cavalry Battalion (afterwards 
known as tie First Seminole Regiment), Lieut. Col. John Jumper; 
First Creek Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. Col. Chilly Mcintosh; First 
Creek Regiment, Col. Daniel N. Mcintosh; Second Cherokee Mounted 
Rifles, Col. William P. Adair; Second Creek Regiment, Col. Chilly 
Mcintosh; Third Choctaw Regiment (formerly First Choctaw Bat- 
talion), Col. Jack&on McCurtain; Cherokee Battalion, Maj. Moses C. 
Frye, MaJ. Joseph A. Scales; Chickasaw Cavalry Battalion, Lieut. 
Col. Martin Sheco; Drew's Cherokee Mounted Rifles (called First 
and Second), Col. John Drew; Osage Battalion, Maj. Arm Broke. 

Both officers and men of these organizations were members 
of the various tribes among which they were respectively recruited, 
wit'i the exception, however, of Col. Douglas H. Cooper, of the F irst 
Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifle Regiment. He was a white 
man, who had been the United States Indian Agent for the Choctaw 
and Chickasaw tribes at the outbreak of the war, and was eventually 
promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. 

The Indians who were in the service of the Union Army during 
the war were organized into three regiments, known as the First, 
Second, and Third Regiments of the Indian Home Guards. They 
were recruited principally in the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole 
Nations, though other tribes were represented, and there were a few 
Indians who enlisted with Kansas regiments. 

The First Regiment, Indian Home Guards, consisted mainly of 
members of the Creek Nation, and its aggregate strength was sixty- 
four officers and 1784 enlisted men. 



246 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

The Second Regiment was composed principally of Cherokee and 
Osage Indians, its total force being sixty-six officers and 1835 
enlisted men. 

The Third Regiment was recruited mostly among the Cherokee 
and Creek, and its complete enrollment was fifty-two officers and 
1437 enlisted men. Possibly two-thirds of the officers of these 
regiments were white men. There is no record of the tribal military 
organizations which supported the cause of the Union. The total 
number of the tribes then residing in the Indian Territory who served 
in the Union Army probably did not exceed 6,000. 

The three regiments of the Home Guards, which composed a 
brigade in the Union Army, participated in twenty-eight battles, 
besides many lesser skirmishes, and it is probable that the Indians 
in the Confederate Army took part in a greater number of battles, 
as some of them were organized and placed in the field much earlier 
in the war. The total number of Indians who gave their lives in 
the struggle, including those killed in battle and those who died from 
wounds and disease, was over 1,000.

escorted to the Pine Ridge Agency in 1883. 

1879. — The Carpenter colony of settlers from Kansas City, Mo., made 
the first attempt to enter the unassigned lands, known as 
Oklahoma. They were ejected by troops under command 
of General Wesley Merritt. Another was organized at 
Topeka, Kansas., under J. R. Boyd, and one was organized 
in Texas to operate from Caddo, Indian Territory. The 
Carpenter colony entered near wliat is now Coffeyville, 
Kans., May 7. 

1880.— The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe built its line to Caldwell, 
Kans., on the northern border of Indian Territory. 

1880. — Captain David L. Payne and his colony of settlers crossed into 
Oklahoma, locating in Oklahoma county, where they were 
apprehended by the troops, taken to Fort Reno, later 
escorted to the Kansas line by soldiers, and released June

and was arrested a second time and taken to Fort Reno 
and from there to Fort Smith where he was released 
without bond. 

1881. — Stockmen of the Cherokee Strip met at Caldwell, Kans., for 
the discussion of common interests. This was the begin- 
ning of the movement which culminated in the organiza- 
tion of the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association two

1881— Captain Payne brought suit in the United States court at To- 
peka, Kans., for damages on account of his forcible re- 
moval from the territory. He was frustrated by repeated 
postponements and in the fall he went to Texas where he 
organized his second colony. They came to Oklahoma 
and encamped on Cache creek but were expelled by the 
troops. 

1882. — Cattlemen began fencing ranches in the Cherokee Strip. 

1882. — Payne went to Washington, D. C, to consult with the Secretary 
of the Interior in regard to the status of the Oklahoma 
land, but received no satisfaction. Returning, he organ- 
ized a third colony and was arrested again and taken to 
Fort Reno, and thence to Fort Smith, but the case was 
continued on the motion of the district attorney, and Payne 
began organizing his followers for a fourth attempt to 
affect a setlement in Oklahoma. 

1883. — Payne made another attempt to settle Oklahoma with a colony 
of several hundred persons. They made their way into 
the valley of the North Canadian where he was again 
arrested and taken to Fort Reno while his followers were 
escorted by the troops to the Kansas border. Payne sought 
to obtain an injunction against the military authorities in 
the district court at Topeka in July. A band of two hun- 
dred and fifty "boomers" from Arkansas City left in August 
fo Oklahoma, but Payne was not with them. He and three 
associates were arrested at Wichita and formally indicted 
by a federal grand Jury on a charge of conspiracy to violate 



254 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

the laws of the United States, and in the meanwhile the 
injunction proceedings were postponed from time to time. 

1884. — Oklahoma "boomers" began to settle the country singly, in- 
stead of coming in a body, but as fast as the settlers were 
removed others followed. Payne and seven other leaders 
were arrested August 9 at Rock Falls, four miles south of 
Hunnewell, Kans., in tl^e Cherokee Strip on a charge of 
conspiracy by intruding on Indian lands. Judge C. C. 
Foster, of the Un'ted States District Court, held that the 
title to the land in Oklahoma was vested in the United 
States, and therefore setlement by citizens was not a 
criminal offense. This was Payne's first and only real 
victory in the courts. 

1884. — Captain Pavne died suddenly at Wellington, Kans., November 
27, and it was but a few days later when Representative 
Sidney Clarke, James B. Weaver of Iowa, and W. M. 
Springer of Illinois, aligned themselves behind a bill pro- 
viding for the opening and settlement of Oklahoma. Rep- 
resentative Clarke introduced the bill. 

1885. — W. L. Couch, one of Payne's lieutenants moved from the Kansas 
line at the head of a large colony of "boomers," little more 
than a month after the death of Payne. The party reached 
the valley of Stillwater creek, where they encamped, laid 
out a towii, and staked claims, but were driven out at the 
point of guns to the Kansas border. 

1885. — Couch and twelve leaders were arrested on a charge of 
treason in January and were placed in j^W in Wichita. 
The Oklahoma lands were declared Indian lands bv Presi- 
dent Cleveland March 13. The cattlemen were notified by 
the military authorities to move, but no record is had that 
they heeded the notice. Couch and his companions were 
released some weeks later when General Hatch, who had 
ousted them from Stillwater creek failed to appear at the 
trial. 

1885. — President Cleveland issued a proclamation ordering the removal 
of the cattle ranch fences from the ranges of Oklahoma, 
August 7. The last effort at colonization was under the 
the leadership of Couch during the fall but t^~e colonists 
were removed by Lieut. Col. E. V. Summer, Fifth Cavalry, 
Nov. 10. 

1885. — The beginning of construction work on the new railroad from 
Arkansas City south to Fort Worth, Texas, was begun. 
This gave the "boomers" inspiration that the lands would

from the senate committee on territories and the measure 
failed to pass, but the famous "rider" on the Indian appro- 
priation bill, opening Oklahoma to settlement, was passed 
by congress and it became a law March 3, 1889. March 23, 
President Harrison issued the proclamation naming April 
22 at 12 M. as the day and hour of opening.

OKLAHOMA AMONG THE SOUTHERN STATES 

(By Chas. N. Gould, former State Geologist.) 



You don't have to misrepresent Oklahoma; if you tell half the truth 
people won't believe you. 

No equal area that the sun shines upon, during recorded history, 
has made such rapid material progress as has the state of Oklahoma, 
during the last decade. Her history reads like a romance. Those 
of us who have been actively engaged in aiding this development as 
well as those from other states who have watched tl. e progress of 
Oklahoma, often stand aghast before the wonderful latent possibilities 
of the state. 

Relative Rank. 

It is not easy to attempt to condense into a single paragraph a 
statement of the wonderful resources of Oklahoma and their develop- 
ment. Some idea of conditions may be gained by reference to the 
government census reports recently issued, where it is shown that 
during the past ten years, among the sixteen states represented at 
the Southern Commercial Congress, Oklahoma ranks as follows: 

First in percentage of increase of population of the state, 110%. 

First in percentage of increase of population of two chief cities, 
Oklahoma City having 549'/r, and Muskogee 494%. 

First in percentage of increase of value of farm crops, 242%. 

First in percentage of increase of wheat raised, 56%. 

First in percentage of increase of cotton raised, 176%. 

First in percentage of increase of railroad mileage, 154%. 

First in percentage of increase in lumber cut, 9017c. 

First in percentage of increase in corn raised, 921%. 

First in percentage of increase in bank deposits, 1033%. 

First among the southern states in the amount of petroleum pro- 
duced during the past four years. 

First in the amount of natural gas in sight. 

First in the total amount of available fuel. 

First in the total amount of asphalt. 

First in the total amount of glass sand. 

First in the total amount of gypsum. 

First in the amount of salt. 

First in the total amount of mineral products. 

First in the total amount of wl eat raised. 

And first in the number of acres of fertile soil lying idle. 

If you exclude Texas, our neighbor state on the South, with an 
area nearly four times our own, and Missouri, with an area nearly 
as large, and with nearly 100 years of development, Oklahoma ranks, 

First in corn. 

First in oats. 

First in cattle. 



260 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Excluding Texas, Missouri and Georgia, the Empire state bf the 
South, Oklahoma, is, 
First in hogs. 
First in miles of railroad. 

And excluding Texas, Missouri and West Virginia, she is. 
First in assessed valuation. 

History. 

Twenty-one years ago the greater part of Oklahoma was bare 
prairie or unbroken forest. In the eastern part of the state, which 
was owned and occupied by Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes, 
there were few small villages, little more than trading posts, built up 
largely of wooden shacks. Western Oklahoma was then totally unset- 
tled. In April, 1889, the first land in the Territory of Oklahoma was 
thrown open to settlement. Cities sprang up as if by magic. An 
area half as large as that of the State of Maryland was settled in a 
day. From time to time, various Indian reservations were thrown 
open to the public and cities sprang up over night. During the past 
ten years tie land of the Five Civilized Tribes in eastern Oklahoma 
has iieen allotted and much of it made available for purchase. Farms 
have been improved, mines and quarries have been opened, factories 
erected, railroads built and cities have grown, until, today, Oklahoma 
stands at the forefront of the sisterhood of states. 



Topography. 

Oklahoma is larger than any state east of the Mississippi river; 
the total area being 70,740 square miles. Generally speaking, the 
state is a level plain, sloping from an elevation of about 5,500 feet 
above sea level in the northwest corner to less than 400 feet in the 
southeast corner. Western Oklahoma is a flat or rolling prairie. In 
southern and eastern Oklahoma, this plain is interrupted by a number 
of ranges of high hills, dignified by the term mountains. These are 
known as the Wichita, Arbuckle, Quachita, and Ozark mountains. 
The eastern half of the state contains forests of pine, oak and hickory. 
Western Oklahoma contains little timber except along the streams. 

Rainfall and Soil. 

Three-fourths of the state has an abundant rainfall, varying from 
40 inches in the southeastern corner to 25 inches near the western 
line. The extreme northwestern part of the state, old "No Man's 
Land," lies in the semi-arid region of the Plains, the rainfall varying 
from 10 to 25 inches per annum. 

Oklahoma is well watered by streams. Ten large rivers cross the 
state. All the drainage is into the Mississippi through the Arkansas 
or Red rivers. The chief tributaries to the Arkansas are the Grand, 
Verdigris, Poteau, South Canadian. North Canadian, Cimarron and 
Salt Fork. The chief tributaries of the Red are the Kiamichi, Blue, 
Boggy and Washita. The general course of these streams is from 
northwest to southeast across the state. In each stream valley there 
is a broad belt of exceedingly fertile bottom land, averaging from one 
to three miles in width. The upland soil throughout tl e greater part 
of the state is very feitile. In western Oklahoma much of the soil 
is red, which color is due to the large percentage of iron which it 
contains. Eastern Oklahoma contains several large areas of limestone 
soil. 



RESOURCES 261 

Agricultural Resources. 

The happy combination of abundant rainfall, warm climate and 
fertile soil, all conspire to render Oklahoma one of the most productive 
of the agricultural states. Practica'ly everyt'. ing that is cultivated 
between the Canadian line and the Gulf of Mexico, and between the 
Atlantic and the Rocky mountains can be raised in Oklahoma. The 
four staples are corn, wheat, cotton and oats. In 1910, Oklahoma led 
the southern states in the production of wiieat, more than 2.5,000,000 
bushels being harvested. She ranks second in the production of oats, 
with 23,000.000 bushels; fourth in the production of corn with 92,000,000 
bushels; and fifth in the production of cotton with yBii.uuu oaies. lu 
addition to these crops, Oklahoma ranks first in the production of 
bropmcorn and among the first in the production of alfalfa. Many of 
her farmers have become wealthy shipping potatoes to northern mar- 
kets, two crops a year being produced. Truck and vegetables are 
grown in all localities. The wild hay crop every year adds hundreds 
of thousands of dollars to the total wealth of the state. 

Practically all kinds of fruits grow well. The apples of eastern 
Oklahoma rival those raised in the famous Ozark country of northern 
Arkansas and southern Missouri, this section of the state being a 
part of "the land of the big red apples." Elberta peaches, the finest 
raised in the Mississippi valley, grow big as pint cups, and are often 
a drug on the market at fifty cents a bushel. Cherries, plums, pears, 
grapes and fruits of all kinds grow in the greatest profusion. Pecans, 
walnuts and other nuts are abundant. 

It must not be imagined for an instant, however, that Oklahoma 
has yet come into her own in the matter of agricultural development. 
The State Board of Agriculture is authority for the statement that 
at the present time, taking into consideration all known data, only 
about 24% of the tillable land in the state is yet in cultivation. That 
is to say, three-fourths of our acreage, which includes much of the 
finest agricultural land in the United States, is still lying idle. 

Live Stock. 

In former years, Oklahoma was the stockman's paradise. Before 
the opening of the country to settlement, great herds of long-horned, 
Texas cattle roamed at will over the broad" prairies. The nutritious 
grasses, indigenous to our soil, and the abundant water supply, made 
Oklahoma the best cattle country in the world. These conditions have 
passed. Instead of the half-wild, long-horned cattle, we have well-kept 
herds of Herefords and Jerseys; instead of the tough and wirey cow 
pony, the draft horse and the racer; and instead of the wild hog, the 
Poland China and Berkshire. In 1910, Oklahoma ranked third among 
the southern states in the number of cattle and fourth in the number 
of hogs produced. 

Mineral Wealth, 

No state in the Union possesses a greater variety or larger amount 
of undeveloped mineral wealth than does Oklahoma. During the past 
three years she has led the United States in the production of petro- 
leum, and last year produced 54,000,000 barrels of crude oil. The 
amount of natural gas in sight, including that being utilized, that 
going to waste and that shut in, will approximate 2,000,000,000 cubic 
feet per day. At a conservative estimate, not to exceed 20% of the 
productive oil and gas fields have been developed. The United States 
Geological Survey is authority for the statement that the amount of 
coal in Oklahoma is 79,000,000,000 tons. These facts being true, it is 



262 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

obvious that so far as we have available data, Oklahoma possesses a 
greater amount of fuel than any other state in the Union. Wl en it 
is remembered that approximately 90'r of all the power used in manu- 
facturing and other industrial purposes is derived from one of these 
three fuels, it will be easily understood what the future development 
of Oklahoma may be. 

But not in fuels alone is Oklahoma rich. The asphalt deposits in 
the southern part of the state are the most extensive in the Union. 
Complete data are not available, but at a conservative estimate, t' ere 
is enough asphalt in this region to pave all the streets of all the cities 
in the United States for the next hundred years, and even then one 
would scarcely know from where the material was taken. 

The lead and zinc deposits in northeastern Oklahoma are among 
the most prolific in this country. Within the last tw^o years a million 
dollars have been spent in mines and mills on a single square mile 
near Miami, and more than tiat amount has been taken from the 
ground at this place in the form of lead and zinc ore. The area in 
which we may expect to find lead and zinc in paying quantities 
includes several thousand square miles. 

Oklahoma possesses more gypsum than any other state. It is 
estimated that there are 123,000,000,000 tons of this material in sight 
in the western counties, which is enough to keep 100 mills, each manu- 
facturing 100 tons a day, busy for 34.000 years. Oklahoma 1 as enough 
salt water going to waste to make 100 carloads of salt a day. Her 
glass sand deposits are among the most extensive of those of any 
state. There is in southern Oklahoma a ledge of glass sand averaging 
fifty feet thick, and sixty miles long,' which, on analysis, is found to 
be often 99.987r pure silica. 

The granite deposits of Oklahoma are among the finest in the 
country. Twenty or more varieties of shade and texture are found. 
The Wicl'ita mountains, 1,000 feet high and sixty miles long, in south- 
western Oklal oma, are composed entirely of granite. An area of more 
than 100 square miles in the Arbuckle mountains is covered by gr^inite. 

Oolitic limestone, superior to the famous Bedford stone, occurs in 
very large quantities. Six separate areas in Oklahoma contain inex- 
haustible deposits of limestone, the greater part of which is suitable 
for the manufacture of Portland cement, for burning into lime, for 
concrete rock, and for building stone. Sandstone suitable for building 
is widely distributed. Clays and shales, suitable for the manufacture 
of brick, tile, sewer pipe and a large variety of clay products, are 
found in all parts of the state. 

Oklahoma contains considerable deposits of high grade manga- 
nese iron ore; some of the finest tripoli in the country: great beds of 
volcanic ash; extensive deposits of novaculite; and a large variety of 
other minerals of minor importance. 



Water Power. 

The water power resources of Oklahoma are extensive, but at the 
present time practically undeveloped. A number of swift-flowing 
streams, carrying constant volumes of water, cross the state. Power 
plants are now in operation at only four places, namely at Anadarko, 
Chickasha and Pauls Valley, on the Washita, and at Tishomingo on the 
Pennington. Such rivers as Poteau, Kiamitia, Blue, Boggy, Grand, 
Verdigris, Illinois, North Canadian and Little River, and creeks such 
as Rock, Honey, and Mill, contain an ample supply of water to run 
scores, not to say hundreds of power plants, capable of generating 
many thousands of horse power. 



RESOURCES 263 

Two rather ambitious projects are now being considered. One, 
located in south-central Oklahoma, contemplates the construction of 
10 or 12 plants, at various points, along the Washita river, between 
Lindsay and Berwyn. Ti:e combined power from these plants is to 
be carried to Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Ardmore and other towns in 
the central part of the state. A second project of nearly as great mag- 
nitade in the eastern part of the state contemplates the erection of 
a dam across Grand river near Muskogee. It is estimated that the 
power generated at this point, would be sufficient to supply light and 
power to a city of 200,000 people. 

Other projects have been surveyed at Keokuk Falls and Weleetka 
on the North Canadian, at Carnegie, Fort Cobb, Cloud Chief, Lindsay, 
Pauls Valley and Dougherty, on the Washita; near Belton and Milburn 
on tl:e Blue; at Tahlequah and Cookson on the Illinois. Suffice it to 
say that if the immense deposits of coal, oil and gas now lying dor- 
mant in our hills are ever exhausted, there is enough water power yet 
unutilized to supply all the plants, factories and mines that Oklahoma 
will ever need. 

Transportation. 

Oklahoma has G,106 miles of railroad. Only Texas, Missouri, and 
Gebrgia among the southern states, exceed her in mileage. :\Iost coun- 
ties have two or more competing lines of railroad. 

Five trunk lines cross the state, namely the Atchison, Topeka 
and Santa Fe; the Missouri, Kansas and Texas; the St. Louis and 
San Francisco; tie Kansas City, Mexico and Orient and the Chicago, 
Rock Island and Pacific. The Santa Fe has direct connection with 
Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Galveston and California. The Mis- 
souri, Kansas and Texas connects with St. Louis, Kansas City and Gal- 
veston. Four lines of the St. Louis and San Francisco cross Oklahoma, 
giving direct connection with the Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and 
Texas points. The Rock Island crosses Oklahoma from both the north 
and east, connecting Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis and El Paso. The 
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient reaches Kansas City on the north, 
and is building toward the Pacific coast. 

Besides these trunk lines, there are a number of lines of minor 
importance, including the Missouri Pacific; Missouri, Oklahoma and 
Gulf; Fort Smith and Western; Midland Valley; Oklahoma Central, 
and several shorter lines. 



Need of Factories. 

Oklahoma's greatest need today is more factories. With un- 
limited natural resources, both agricultural and mineral, with a 
larger amount of fuel than any other state, and inexhaustible water 
power, Oklahoma is, at the present time, manufacturing very few 
of the comforts and necessities of life used by her people. Nine- 
tenths of the manufactured articles used in Oklahoma are imported 
from other states. Our people are today paying the market price 
plus the freight for the greater part of the articles which they use. 
At the same time the farmers of Oklahoma are able to sell their five 
staple crops: Corn, wheat, cotton, cattle and hogs, only in outside 
markets, and for these things they receive the market price less 
tho freight. 

To quote a few specific examples: Oklahoma has enough salt 
water going to waste to make 100 carloads of salt a day, yet all the 
salt used in the state comes from Kansas, Michigan and Louisiana. 



264 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

There is enough limestone in Oklahoma to burn all the lime that the 
world will ever use, yet practically all our lime comes from Texas, 
Arkansas and Missouri. With as good shale as any state possesses, 
practically all the brick, terra cotta and other clay products used 
are imported from Kansas and Missouri. Oklahoma has as good 
granite as can be found in the world, yet in our cemeteries are 
mounments, and in our large buildings, pillars and cap stones, made 
of granite from Scotland, Vermont, and Massachusetts, but practically 
none from Oklahoma. With the largest deposits of gypsum in the 
United States, a considerable amount of our gypsum plaster comes 
from Kansas and Texas. With Portland cement rock enough to 
supply cement for all the world, and fuel in abundance for its manu- 
facture, we have but three cement plants, and much of the material 
we use comes from Kansas or Texas. With enough native asphalt 
in our hills to pave all the streets of all our cities, the greater part 
of our street paving is being done with the burned-out residue from 
the oil refineries. There is in Oklahoma but one cotton mill, but 
three glass factories, and six small oil refineries. We manufacture 
no shoes and but little clothing. Within the last year, two packing 
plants have been established in Oklahoma City. There are a few 
canning factories in various parts of the state, and most of the 
towns of any size have creameries. 

It is safe to say, however, that at the present time, not 10 per 
cent of the materials used for building, food or clothing by the 
people of Oklahoma, are manufactured in the state. There is no 
state in the Union where opportunities are better, where greater 
returns may be made on investment, or where the poeple are more 
willing and anxious to give support to legitimate manufacturing in- 
dustries. We appreciate the fact that the lack of these industries 
is a part of pioneer conditions. We accepted these conditions when 
we came to the new country, but because we were willing to accept 
them, is no reason, in itself, why we should always be willing to 
live under them. As soon as plants and factories are established, 
and mines and quarries opened, and the workmen necessary to carry 
on these industries are here, our farmers will be able to raise a still 
larger variety of crops and will receive a higher price for the products 
of the farm. 

Education. 

No southern state has a greater number of state schools than 
has Oklahoma. The head of the educational system is the State 
University at Norman. The Agricultural and Mechanical College 
is at Stillwater, and in addition there are six district agricultural 
schools. Six state normal schools are located respectively at Ed- 
mond, Alva, Weatherford, Tahlequah, Durant and Ada. There are 
university preparatory schools at Tonkawa and 'Claremore, and a 
college for girls at Chickasha. Agricultural and domestic 
science are taught in all the common schools of the state. Most 
counties now have consolidated rural schools. The work done in 
the high schools is up to the standard. The requirements for admis- 
sion to the freshman class at the State University of Oklahoma, are 
with a single exception, higher than for any other southern university. 
Graduates from the University of Oklahoma take rank along with 
those from any institution in America. 

Citizenship. 

In opening a conversation with a stranger in Oklahoma is it not 
necessary to talk about the weather. The proper thing is to ask: 



RESOURCES 265 

"Where are you from?" We're all from somewhere. The oldest 
native has been voting little more than a year. Oklahoma is a meeting 
place for the clans. The northern farmer and the southern planter live 
side by side. The southerner harvests a wheat crop each year and 
the northern man is learning to grow cotton. The descendant of 
the Puritan and Cavalier vote at the same precinct. The grandchildren 
of Sam Houston and the offspring of Daniel Boone ride to town in 
the same automobile. Different traditions, different ideas, different 
viewpoints, mingle and commingle, yet out of the turmoil and tumult 
of ideas and opinions there is arising a newer, greater and grander 
civilization. 

Oklahoma is preeminently tlie young man's country. A man will 
make more advancement, attain a greater eminence in his profession 
or achieve greater success in business in five years in Oklahoma 
than in 20 years in one of the older states. We are not hampered 
by tradition nor have we any great respect for authority, as such. 
Precedent interferes with us not at all. We ask of a man one 
thing, and only one, namely, that he produce results. 

We have no heroes; neither Clays nor Calhouns, Lincolns nor 
Lees. We are little interested in either heroes or ancestors, but we 
are interested, intensely interested, in the half million boys and girls 
growing up in our midst. We have no past, and queerly enough 
we care little for one. Oklahoma is a country with a future and 
we would rather live in a country with a future than one with a past. 

In the older states a man, applying for a position, must be 
recommended, indorsed, vouched for, certified to, and analyzed, and 
not only he, himself, but his father and mother, brother and sister, 
his rich uncle, his maiden aunt, and all. his numerous relatives, even 
unto the third and fourth generation. One of the best recommenda- 
tions a young man can have in the east is that he belongs to one 
of the best families. 

In Oklahoma conditions are entirely different. We assume that 
a man is a gentleman and a scholar, that his grandfather did not 
steal sheep, and that his maiden aunt did not elope with the coach- 
man. We are not in the least interested in the family history. We 
ask a man two questions: First, "Can you do this work?" and, 
second, "Can you do it now?" If so, well and good. If not, get out of 
the way and let a man at it who can. 

This is the spirit that is today making Oklahoma great. This 
Is the spirit that is at work among our people, developing farms, 
constructing railroads, building factories and erecting skyscrapers. 
What we need is more men, more money. We are working as best 
we can, and the work is not always easy but we are not discouraged. 
We say to the world, "Get out of the way and watch us grow, or, 
better still, come in with us and help us grow."

NATIONAL PLATFORMS OF 1908 



REPUBLICAN PARTY. 

XATIOKAI^ TICKET. 

For President 
WII.I.IAM H. TAFT, 
of Ohio. 

For Vice-President . 

JAMES S. SHERMAX, 
of New York 

National Convention. Chicago. June 16-19, 19U.S. 
Temporary Chairman, JULIUS C. BURROWS, of Michigan. 
Permanent Chairman— HENRY CABOT LODGE, of Massachusetts. 
Secretary— JOHN R. MAI.LOY, of Ohio. 



NATIONAL PLATFORM. 

Once njore the Republican party, in national convention assembled, sub- 
mits its cause to the people. This great historic organization, that destroyed 
slavery, preserved the Union, restored credit, expanded the national domain, 
established a sound financial system, developed the industries and resources 
Of the country, and gave to the nation her seat of honor in the councils ol 
the world, now meets the new problems of government with the same courage 
and capacity with wliich it solved the old. 

Republicanism Under Roosevelt. 

In this greatest era of American advancement the Republican party has 
reached its highest service under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His 
administration is an epoch in American history. In no otiier period since na- 
tional soverignty was won under Wasliington, or preserved under Lincoln 
has there been such mighty progress in those ideals of government which 
make for justice, equality, and fair dealing among men. The highest aspir- 
ations of the American people have found a voice. Their most exalted ser- 
vant represents the best aims and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. 
American manhood has been lifted to a nobler sense of duty and obligation. 
Conscience and courage in public station and higher standards of right and 
wrong in private life have become cardinal principles of political faith; capi- 
ital and labor have been brought into closer relations of confidence and inter- 
dependence; and the abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power, and all the evils 
of privilege and favoritism have been put to scorn by the Bimple, manly 
virtues of justice and fair play. 



318 OKLAHOJ^IA RED BOOK 

The great accomplishments of President Roosevelt hare b«en, first and 
foremost, a brave and impartial enforcement of the law; the prosecution 
of illegal trusts and monopolies; the exposure and punishmont of evil-doers 
in the public service; the more effective ref^ulution of tlie rates and service 
of the great transportation lines; the complete overthrow of preferences, 
rebates and discriminations; the arbitration of labor disputes; the ameliora- 
tion of the condition of wageworkers everywhere; the conservation of the 
natural resources of the country; the forward step in the improvement of 
the inland waterways, and always the earnest support and defense of every 
wholesome safeguard which has made more secure the guarantees of life, 
liberty and property. 

These are the achievements that will make Theodore Roosevelt his 
place in history, but more than all else the great things he has done will 
be an inspiration to those who have yet greater tilings to do. We declare 
our unfaltering adherence to the policies thus inaugurated, and pledge their 
continuance under a republican administration of the government. 

Equality of Opportunity. 

Under the guidance of republican principles the American people have 
become the richest nation in the world. Our wealth (today exceeds that of 
England and all her colonies, and that of France and Germany combined. 
"When the republican party- was born the total wealth of the country was 
$16,000,000,000. It has leaped to $111,000,000,000 in a generation, while Great 
Britain has gathered but $60,000,000,000 in five hundred years. The United 
States now owns one-fourth of the world's wealth and luakes one-third of 
all modern manufactured products. In the great necessities of civilization 
such as coal, the motive power of all activity; iron, the chief basis of all 
industry; cotton, the staple foundation of all gabrics; wheat, corn and all 
the agricultural products that feed mankind, America's supremacy is undis- 
puted. And yet her great natural wealth has heen scarcely touched. We 
have a vast domain of three million square miles, literally bursting with 
latent treasure, still waiting the magic of capital and industry to be con- 
verted to the practical uses of mankind; a country rich in soil an»- 'Umate, 
in the unharnessed energy of its rivers and in all the varied prodo. ,s of 
the field, the forest and factory. With gratitude for God's bounty, with 
pride in the splendid productiveness of the past and with confidence in 
the plenty and prosperity of the future, the republican party declares for 
the principle ithat in the development and enjoyment of wealth so great 
and blessings so benign there shall be equal opportunity for all. 

The Revival of Business. 

Nothing so clearly demonstrates the sound basis upon which our com- 
mercial, industrial and agricultural interests are founded, and the necessity 
of promoting their continued welfare through the operation of republican 
policies, as the recent safe passage of the American people through a 
financial disturbance which, if appearing in the midst of democratic rule 
or the menace of it, might have equalled the familiar democratic panics of 
the past. We congratulate the people upon this renewed evidence of Ameri- 
can supremacy and hail with confidence the signs now manifest of a 
complete restoration of business prosperity in all lines of trade, commercw 
and manufacturing. 

Recent Republican Legislation. 

Since the election of William McKinley in 1896 the people of this 
country have felt anew the wisdom of entrusting to the republican party 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 319 

through decisive majorities the control and direction of national legislatioa. 

The many wise and progressive measures adopted at recent sessions of 
Congress have demonstrated the patriotic resolve of republican leadership 
in the legislative department to keep step in the forward march toward 
better government. 

Notwithstanding the indefensible filibustering of a Democratic minority 
in the House of Representatives during the last session many wholesome 
and progressive laws were enacted, and we especially commend the passage 
of the emergency currency bill, the appointment of the National Monetary 
Commission, the Employers' and Government liability laws, the measures 
for the greater efficiency of the army and navy, the widows' pension bill, 
the child labor law for the District of Coumbia. the new statute for the 
safety of railroad engineers and firemen, and uiany other acts conserving 
the public walfare. 

Republican Pledges for the Future. 

Tariff. 

The republican party declares unequivocally for the revision of the 
tariff by a special session of Congress immediately following the inaugura- 
tion of the nexjt President, and commands the steps already taken to this 
end in the work assigned to the appropriate committees of Congress which 
are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In 
all tariff legisation the true principle of protection is best maintained by 
the imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost 
of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to 
American industries. "We favor the establishment of maximum and minimum 
rates to be administered by the President under limitations fixed in the 
law, the maximum to be available to meet discriminations by foreign 
countries against American goods entering their markets, and the minimum 
to represent the normal measure of protection at home, the aim and purpose 
of the republican policy being not only to preserve, without excessive duties, 
that security against foreign competition to which the American manu- 
facturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the 
high standard of living of the wage-earners of this country, who are the 
most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. Between the United 
States and the Philippines we believe in a free interchange of products 
with such limitations as to sug^r and tobacco as will afford adequate 
protection to domestic interests. 

Currency. 

We approve tlie emergency measures adopted by the government during 
the recent financial disturbance, and especiallV commend the passage by 
Congress at the last session of the law designed to protect the country from 
a repetition of such stringency. The republican party is committed to fhe 
development of a permanent currency system, responding to our great 
needs; and the appointment of the National Monetary Commission by the 
present Congress, which will impartially investigate all proposed methods, 
insures the early realization of this purpose. The present currency laws 
have fully justified their adoption, but an expanding commerce, a marvelous 
growith in wealth and population, multiplying the centers of distribution, 
increasing the demand for the movement of crops in the west and south, 
and entailing periodic changes in monetary conditions, disclose the need 
of a more elastic and adaptable system. Such a system must meet the 
requirements of agriculturalists, manufacturers, merchants and business men 
generation, must be automatic in operation, minimizing the fluctuations In 



320 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

interest rates, and, above all, must be in harmony witli that republican 
doctrine wliich insists that every dollars shall be based upon and as good 
aa gold. 

Postal Savings. 

We favor the establishment of a postal savings bank system for the 
convenience of the people and the encouragement of thrift. 

Trusts. 

The republican party i)assed the Sherman Anti-Trust law over demo- 
cratic opposition, and fnl'orct'd it after democratic dereliction. It has been 
a wholesome instrument lor good in the hands of a wise and fearless 
administration. But experience has shown that its effectiveness can be 
strengthened and its real objects better attained by such amendments as 
will give to the federal government greater supervision and control over, 
and secure greater publicity in, the management of that class of corporations 
engaged in interstate commerce having power and opportunity to effect 
monopolies. 

Railroads. 

We approve the enactment of the railroad rate law and the vigorous 
enforcement by the present administration of the statutes against rebates 
and discriminations, as a result of which the advantages formerly possessed 
by the large shipper over the small siiipper have substantially disappeared; 
and in this connection we commend the appropriation by the present Congress 
to enable the Interstate Commerce Commission to thoroughly investigate 
and give publicity to the accounts of interstate railroads. We believe, 
however, that the interstate commerce law should be further amended so 
as to give railroads the right to make and publish traffic agreements subject 
to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle 
of competition between naturally competing lines and avoiding the common 
control of such lines by any means whatsoever. We favor such national 
legislation and supervision as will prevent the future over issue of stocks 
and bonds by interstate carriers. 

Railroad and Government Employes. 

The enactment in constitutional form at the present session of Congress 
of the Employers' Liability law, the passage and enforcement of the safety 
appliance statutes, as well as the additional protection secured for engineers 
and firemen, the reduction in the hours of labor of trainmen and raihoad 
telegraphers, the successful exercise of the powers of mediation and arbitra- 
tion between intei-state railroads and their employes, and tlie law making 
a beginning in the policy of compensation for injured employes of the 
government, are among the most commendable accomplishments of the pres- 
ent administration. But there is further work in this direction yet to be 
done, and the republican party pledges its continued devotion to every 
cause that makes for safety and betterment of conditions among those whose 
labor contributes so niiuli to the progress and welfare of the country. 

Wage Earners Generally. 

The same wise policy Which has induced the republican party to main- 
tain protection to American labor, to establish an eight-hour day in the 

construction of all public works, to increase the list of employes who shall 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 321 

have preferred claims for wages under the bankruptcy laws, to adopt a 
child labor statute for the District of Columbia, to direct an investigation 
into the condition of working women and children, and later, of employes 
of telephone and telegraph companies engaged in interstate business; to 
appropriate $150,000 at the recent session of Congress in order to secure a 
thorough inquiry into the causes of catastrophes and loss of life in the mines 
and to amend and strengthen i the law prohibiting the importation of 
contract labor, will be pursued in every legitimate direction within federal 
authority to lighten the burdens and increase the opportunity for happiness 
and advancement of all who toil. The republican party recognizes the 
special needs of wake-workers generally, for their well being means the 
well being of all. But more important than all other considerations is 
that of good citizenship, and we especially stand for the needs of every 
American, whatever his occupation, in his capacity as a self respecting citizen. 

Court Procedure. 

The republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity 
of the courts, state and federal, and will ever insist that their powers to 
enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and property shall be 
preserved inviolate. We believe, however, that the rules of procedure in 
the federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of injunction 
should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction or 
temporary restraining order should be issued without notice, except where 
irreparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing 
thereafter should be granted. 

The American Farmer. 

Among those whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole 
country as that of the wage-earner is the American farmer. The pros- 
perity of the country rests peculiarly upon the prosperity of agriculture. 
The republican party during the last twelve years has accomplished extra- 
ordinary work in bringing the resources of the national government to 
the aid of the farmer, not only in advancing agriculture itself, but in 
increasing the conveniences of rural life. Free rural mail delivery has 
been established; it now reaches millions of our citizens, and we favor its 
extension until every community in the land receives ths full benefits of 
the postal service. We recognize the social and economical advantages of 
good country roads, maintained more and more largely at public expense, 
and less and less at the expense of the abutting owner. In this work we 
commend the growing practice of the state aid, and we approve the efforts 
of the national agricultural department by experiments and otherwise to 
make clear to the public the best methods of road construction. 

Rights of the Negro. 

The republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent 
friend of the American negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It 
wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and 
political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in Intel- 
ligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encour- 
agement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, withou»- 
regard to race or color; 'we declare once more, and without reservation, 
for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and 
Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the 
protection and advancement of the negro, and we condemn all devices that 
have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone as 
unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land 
Sig. 23. 



322 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Natural Resources and Waterways. 

We indorse the movement inaugurated by the administration for the 
conservation of natural resources; we approve all measures to prevent the 
waste of timber; we commend the work now going on for the reclamation 
of arid lands, and reaffirm tlie republican policy of tlie free distribution 
of the available areas of the public domain to the landless settler. No 
obligation of the future is more insistent and none will result in greater 
blessings to posterity. In line with this splendid undertaking is tlie further 
duty, equally imperative, to enter upon a systematic improvement upon a 
large and comprehensive plan, just to all portions of the country, of the 
waterwaj's, harbors, and great lakes, wliose natural adaptability to the in- 
creasing :traffic of the land is one of the greatest gifts of a benign Providence. 

The Army and Navy. 

The Sixtieth Congress passed many commendable acts increasing the 
efficiency of the army and navy, making the militia of the states an integral 
part of the national establishment, authorizing joint maneuvers of army 
and militia, fortifying new naval bases and completing the construction of 
coaling stations, instituting a female nurse corps for naval hospitals and 
ships, and adding two new battleships, ten torpedo-boat destroyers, three 
steam colliers, and eight submarines to the strength of the navy. Although 
at peace with all the world, and secure in the consciousnness that the 
American people do not desire and will not provoke a war with any other 
country, we nevertheless declare our unalterable devotion to a policy that 
will keep this Republic ready at all times to defend her traditional doctrines, 
and assure her appropriate part in promoting permanent tranquility among 
the nations. 

Protection of American Citizens Abroad. 

We commend the vigorous efforts made by the administration to protect 
American citizens in foreign lands, and pledge ourselves to insist upon the 
just and equal protection of all our citizens abroad. It is the unquestioned 
duty of the government to procure for all our citizens, without distinction, 
the rights to travel and sojourn in friendly countries, and we declare our- 
selves in favor of all proper efforts tending to that end. 

Extension of Foreign Commerce. 

Under the administration of the republican party the foreign commerce 
of the United States has experienced a remarkable growth until it has a 
present annual valuation of approximately three billions of dollars, and 
gives employment to a vast amount of labor and capital which would 
otherwise be idle. It has inaugurated through the recent visit of the 
secretary of state to South America and Mexico, a new era of Pan-American 
commerce and comity, which is bringing us into closer touch with our twenty 
sister American republics, having a common historical heritage, a republican 
form of government, and offering us a limitless field of legitimate com- 
mercial enterprise. 

Arbitration and The Hague Treaties. 

The conspicuous contributions of American statesmanship to the great 
cause of international peace so signally advanced in The Hague conference? 
are an occasion for just pride and gratification. At the last session of 
the Senate of the United States, eleven Hague conventions were ratified, 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 323 

establishing ithe rights of neutrals, laws of war on land, restriction of 
submarine mines, limiting the use of force for the collection of contractural 
debts, governing the opening of hostilities, extending the application of 
Geneva principles, and, in many ways, lessening the evils of war and 
promoting the peaceful settlement of international controversies. At the 
same session twelve arbitration conventions with great nations were con- 
firmed, and extradition, boundary and naturalization, treaties of supreme 
importance were ratified. We indorse such achievements as the highest 
duty a people can perform and proclaim the obligaton of further strength- 
ening the bonds of friendship and good will with all nations of the world. 

Merchant Marine, 

We adhere to the republican doctrine of encouragement to American 
shipping and urge such legislation as will revive the merchant marine 
prestige of the country, so essential to national defense, the enlargement of 
foreign trade and the industrial prosperity of our own people. 

Veterans of the Wars. 

Another republican policy which must ever be maintained is that of 
generous provision for those who have fought the country's battle and for 
the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. We commend the 
Increase in the widows' pensions made by the present congress, and declare 
for a liberal administration of all pension laws, to the end that the people's 
gratitude may grow deeper as the memories of heroic sacrifice grow more 
sacred with the passing years. 

Civil Service. 

We reaffirm our former declaration that the civil service laws, enacted, 
extended and enforced by the republican party, shall continue to be main- 
tained and obeyed. 

Public Health. 

We commend the efforts designed to secure greater efficiency in national 
public health agencies, and favor such legislation as will effect this purpose. 

Bureau of Mines and Mining. 

In the interest of the great mineral industries of our country, we earnestly 
favor the establishment of a Bureau of Mines and Mining. 

Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines and Panama. 

The American government, in republican hands, has freed Cuba, given 
peace and protection to Porto Rico and the Philippines under our flag, and 
begun the construction of the Panama canal. The present conditions in 
Cuba vindicate the wisdom of maintaining between that republic and this 
Imperishable bonds of mutual interest, and the hope is now expressed that 
the Cut)an people will soon again be ready to assume complete soverignty 
over their land. 

In Porto Rico, the government of the United States Is meeting loyal 
and patriotic support; order and prosperity prevail, and the well being of 
the people is in every respect promoted and conserved. 

We believe that the native inhabitants of Porto Rico should be at once 
collectively made citizens of the United States, and that all others properly 
qualified under existing laws residing in said Island should have the 
privilege of becoming naturalized. 



324 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

In the Philippines, insurrection has been suppressed, law established 
and life and property made secure. Education and practical experience 
are there advancing the capacity of the people for government, and the 
policies of McKinley and Roosevelt are leading the inhabitants step by step 
to an ever-increasing measure of home rule. 

Time has justified the selection of the Panama route for the great 
Isthmian canal, and tlie events have shown, tlie wisdom of securing authority 
over the zone through which it is to be built. The work is now progressing 
with a rapidity far beyond expectation, and already the realization of the 
hopes of centuries has come within the vision of the near future. 

New Mexico and Arizona. 

"We favor the immediate admission of the territories of New Mexico and 
Arizona as separate states in the Union. 



Centenary of the Birth of Lincoln. 

February 12, 1909, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of 
Abraham Lincoln, an immortal spirit whose fame has brightened with the 
receding years, and whose name stands among the first of thos given to 
the world by the great republic. We recommend that this centennial 
anniversary be celebrated tliroughout the confines of the nation by all the 
people thereof, and especially by the public schools, as an exercise to stir 
the patriotism of the youth of the land. 



Democratic Incapacity for Government. 

We call the attention of the American people to the fact that none of 
ithe great measures here advocated by the republican party could be 
enacted, and none of the steps forward here proposed could be taken, under 
a democratic administration or under one in which party responsibility is 
divided. The continuance in power of that party which believes in them 
and which possesses the capacity to put them into operation. 



Fundamental Differences Between Democracy and Republicanism 

Beyond all platform declarations there are fundamental differences be- 
tween the republican party and its chief opponent which makes the one 
worthy and the other unworthy of public trust. 

In history the difference between democracy and republicanism is that 
the one stood for debased currency, the other for honest currency; the one 
for free silver; the other for sound money; the one for free trade, the 
other for protection; the one for the contraction of American influence, the 
other for its expansion; the one has been forced to abandon every position 
taken on the great issues before the people, the other has held and vin- 
dicated all. 

In experience, the difference between democracy and republicanism is 
that the one means adversity, while the other means prosperity; one means 
low wages, the other means high; one means doubt and debt, the other 
means confidence and thrift. ? 

In principle the difference between democracy and republicanism is 
that one stands for vacillation and timidity in government, the other for 
strength and purpose; one promises, the other performs; one Sinds fault, 
the other finds work. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 325 

The present tendencies of the two parties are even more marked by 
inherent differences. The trend of democracy is toward socialism, while 
the republican party stands for a wise and regulated individualism. Socialism 
would destroy wealth. Republicanism would prevent its abuse. Socialism 
would give to each an equal right to take; republicanism would give to each 
an equal right to earn. Socialism would offer an equality of possession 
which would soon leave no one anything to possess; republicanism would 
give equality of opportunity which would assure to each his share of a 
constantly increasing sum of possessions. In line with this tendency, tne 
democratic party of today believes in government ownership, while the 
republican party believes in government regulation. Ultimately democracy 
would have the nation own the people, wliile republicanism would have the 
people own the nation. 

Upon this platform of principles and purposes, reaffirming our adherence 
to every republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the party, we go 
before the country asking the support not only of those who have acted 
with us heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens who, regardless of past 
political, difference, unite in the desire to maintain the policies, perpetuate 
the blessings and make secure the achievements of a greater America.

NATIONAL PLATFORM. 

We, the representatives' of the democracy of the United States, in 
national convention assembled, reaffirm our belief in, and pledge our 
loyalty to the principles of the party. 

We rejoice at the increasing signs of an awakening throughout the 
country. The various investigations have traced graft and political corrup- 
tion to llie representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous 
methods by wliich tliey have debauciied elections and preyed upon a defense- 
less public through the subservient officials whom they have raised to place 
and power. The conscience of the nation is now aroused and will free 
the government from the grip of those who have made it a business asset 
of the favor seeking corporations; it must become again a people's govern- 
ment, and be administered in all its departments according to the Jeffer- 
sonion maxim, "equal rights to all, special privileges to none." 

"Shall the people rule?" is the overshadowing issue wliicli manifests 
itselT in all the questions now under discussion. 

Economy in Administration. 

The republican Congress in the session just ended made appropriations 
amounting to $1,008,000,000, exceeding the total expenditures of the past fiscal 
year by $90,000,000, and leaving a deficit of more than $60,000,000 for the 
fiscal year just ended. We denounce the heedless waste of the people's 
money whicli has resulted in this appalling inci-ease as a shameful 
violation of all prudent considerations of government and as no less than 
a crime against the millions of working men and women from whose earn- 
ings the great proportion of these colossal sums must be extorted through 
ex-cessive tariff exactions and other indirect methods. It is not surprising 
that in the face of this shocking record the republican platform contains no 
reference to economical administration or promise thereof in the future. We 
demand that a stop be put to this frightful extraxagance and insist upon 
the strictest economy in every department compatible with frugal and efficient 
administration. 



328 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Increase in. Officeholders. 

Coincident with the enormous increase in expenditure is a like addition 
to the number of officeholders. During the past year 23,784 were added 
costing $16,156,000, and in the past six years of republican administration 
the total number of new offices created aside from many commissions, has 
been 99,319, entailing an additional expenditure of nearly $70,000,000, as 
against only 10,279 new offices created under the Cleveland aiul McKinley 
administrations, which involved an expenditure of only $6,000,000. We de- 
nounce this great and growing increase in the number of officeholders as 
not only unnecessary and wasteful, but also as clearly indicating a deliberate 
purpose on the part of the administration to keep the republican party in 
power at public expense by thus increasig the number of its retainers 
and dependents. Such procedure we declare to be no less dangerous anri 
corrupt than the open purchase of votes at. the polls. 

Arbitrary Power — The Speaker. 

The House of Represntatives was designed by the fathers of the consti- 
tution to be the popular branch of our government responsive to the public 
will. 

The House of Representatives, as controlled in recent years by the repub- 
lican party, has ceased to be a deliberative and legislative body, responsive 
to the will of a majority of its members, but has come under the absolute 
domination of the speaker, who has entire control of its deliberations and 
powers of legislation. 

We have observed with amazement the popular branch of our federal 
government helpless to obtain either the consideration or enactment of 
measures desired by a majority of its members. 

Legislative control becomes a failure when one member in the person of 
the speaker is more powerful than the entire body. 

We demand that the House of Representatives shall again become a 
deliberative body, controlled by a majority of the people's representatives 
and not by the speaker, and we pledge ourselves to adopt such rules and 
regulations to govern the house of representatives as will enable a majority 
of its memlDers to direct its deliberatios and control legislation. 

Misuse of Patronage. 

We condemn as a violation of the spirit of our institutions the action 
of the preset chief executive in using the patronage of his high office to 
secure the nomination for the presidency of one of his cabinet officers. A 
forced succession in the presidency is scarcely less repugnant to public 
sentiment than is life tenure in that office. No good intention on the 
part of the executive and no virtue in the one selected can justify the 
establishment of a dynasty. 

The right of the people to freely select their officials is inalienable and 
cannot be delegated. 

Publicity of Campaign Contributions. 

We demand federal legislation forever terminating the partnership which 
has existed between corporations of the country and the republican party 
under the expressed or implied agreement that in return for the contribution 
of great sums of money wherewith to purchase elections they should be 
allowed to continue substantially unmolested in their, efforts to encroachi 
upon the rights of the people. 

Any reasonable doubt as to the existence of this relation has been 
dispelled by the sworn testimony of witnesses examined in the insurance 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 329 

investigations in New York and the open admission of a single individual — 
unchallenged by the republican national committee — that he himself at the 
personal request of the then republican candidate for the presidency raised 
over a quarter of a million dollars to be used in a single state during the 
closing hours of the last campaign. In order that this practice shall be 
stopped for all time, we demand the passage of a statute punishing by 
imprisonment any officer of a corporation who shall either contribute on 
behalf of or consent to the contribution by a corporation of any money or 
thing of value to be used in furthering the election of a president or vic«- 
president of the United States or of any member of the Congress thereof. 
We denounce the republican party, having complete control of the federal 
government, for its failure to pass the bill, introduced in the last congress, 
to compel the publication of the names of contributors and the amounts 
contributed toward campaign funds and point to the evidence of the insin- 
cerity of republican leaders when they sought by an absolutely irrelevant 
and impossible amendment to defeat the passage of the bill, as a further 
evidence of their intention to conduct their campaign in the coming contest 
with vast sums of money wrested from favor-seeking corporations. We call 
attention to the fact that the recent republican national convention at 
Chicago refused, when the issue was presented to it, to declare against such 
practices. 

We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law prohibiting 
any corporation from contributing to a campaign fund and any individual 
from cotributing an amount above a reasonable maximum, and providins' 
for the publication before election of all such contributions above a reason- 
able minimum. 

The Rights of the States. 

Believing with Jefferson, in "the support of the state governments in 
all their rights as the most competent administrations for our domestic 
concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies," and 
in "the preservation of the general goverment in its whole constitutional 
vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad," we are 
opposed to the centralization implied in the suggestion, now frequently made, 
that the powers of the general government should be extended to judicial 
construction. There is no twilight zone between the nation and the state 
in which exploiting interests can take refuge from both; and it is as 
necessary that the federal government shall exercise the powers delegated to 
it as that the state governments shall use the authority reserved to them; 
but we insist that federal remedies for the regulation of interstate commerce 
and for the prevention of private monopoly shall be added to, not substituted 
for state remedies. 

Popular Election of Senator. 

We favor the election of United States senators by direct vote of the 
people and regard this reform as the gateway to other national reforms. 

Tariff. 

We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by tho 
republican party as a tardy recognition of the righteousness of the demo- 
cratic position on this question. But the people cannot safely entrust the 
execution of this important work to a party which is so deeply obligated 
to the highly protected interests as is the republican party. We call attention 
to tne significant fact that the promised relief is postponed until arter 
the coming election — an election to succeed in which the republican party 



330 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

must have the same support from the beneficiaries of the high protective 
tariff as it has always heretofore received from them; and to the further 
fact that during the years of uninterrupted power no action whatever has 
been taken by the republican congress to correct the admitedly existing 
tariff iniquities. 

We favor immediate revision of the tariff by the reduction of import 
duties. Articles entering into competition with trust controlled products 
should be placed upon the free list; material reductions' should be made in 
the tariff upon the necessaries of life, especially upon articles competing with 
such American manufacturers as are sold abroad more cheaply than at home, 
and gradual reductions should be made in such other schedules as may be 
necessary to restore the tariff to a revenue basis. 

Existing duties have given the manufacturers of paper a shelter behind 
which they have organized combinations to raise the ^price of pulp and 
paper, thus imposing a tax upon the spread of knowledge. We demand the 
immediate removal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber, timber 
and logs, and that these articles be placed upon the free list. 

Income Tax. 

We favor an income tax as a part of our revenue system and we urge 
the submission of a constitutional amendment specifically authorizing con- 
gress to levy and collect a tax upon individual and corporate incomes to 
the end that wealth may bear its proportionate share of the burdens of the 
federal government. 

Trusts. 

A private moopoly is indefensible and intolerable; we therefore favor 
the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law against guilty trust magnates 
ad officials and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may 
be ecessary to, make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the 
United States. Among the additional remedies, we specify three: First, a law 
preventing a duplication of directors among competing corporations; second, 
a license system which will, without abridging the right of each state to 
create corporations, or its rights to regulate as it will foreign corporations 
doing business within its limits make it necessary for a manufacturer or 
trading corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take- out a federal 
license before it shall be permitted to control as much as twenty-five per 
cent of the product in which it deals, the license to protect the public from 
watered stock and to prohibit the control by such corporation of more than 
fifty per cent of the total amount of any product consumed in the United 
States; and third, a law compelling such licensed corporation to sell to 
all purchasers in all parts of the country on the same terms, after making 
due allowance for cost of transportation. 

Railroad Legislation. 

We assert the right of congress to exercise complete control over inter- 
state commerce and the right of each state to exercise like control over 
commerce within its borders. 

We demand such enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce 
commission as may be necessary to enable it to compel railroads to perform 
their duties as common carriers and prevent discrimination and extortion. 

We favor the efficient supervision and rate regulation .of railroads en- 
gaged in interstate commerce. To this end we recommend the valuation 
of railroads by the interstate commerce commission, such valuation to take 
into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost, the 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 331 

cost of production, and all elements of value that will render the valuation 
fair and just. 

We favor such legislation as will prohibit the railroads from engaging- 
in business which brings them into competition with their shippers; also 
legislation which will assure such reduction in transportation rates as con- 
ditions will permit, care being taken to avoid reductions that would compel 
a reduction of wages, -prevent adequate service or do injustice to legitimate 
investments. 

We heartily approve the laws prohibiting the pass and the rebate and 
we favor any further necessary legislation to restrain, correct and prevent 
such abuses. 

We favor sucla legislation as will increase the power of the interstate 
commerce commission, giving to it the Initiative with reference to rates and 
transportation charges put into effect by tlie railroad companies, and permit- 
ting the interstate commerce commission on its own initiative to declare a 
rate illegal and as being more than should be charged for such service. The 
present law relating thereto is inadequate by reason of the fact that the 
fact that the interstate commece commission is without power to fix or inves- 
tigate a rate until complaint has been made to it by the shipper. 

We further declare in favor of a law providing that all agreements of 
traffic or other associations of railway agents affecting interstate rates, ser- 
vice or classification shall be unlawful unless filed with and approved by the 
interstate commerce commission. 

We favor the enactment of a law giving to the interstate commerce com- 
mission the power to inspect proposed railroad tariff rates or schedules be- 
fore they sholl take, effect, and if they be found to be unreasonable to initiate 
an adjustment thereof. 

Telegraph and Telephone. 

We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law to regulate 
under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, the sates and 
services of telegraph and telephone companies engaged in the transmission 
of messages between the states. 

Banking. 

The panic of 1907, coming without any legitimate excuse when the 
republican party had for a decade been in complete control of the federal 
government, furnishes additional proof that it is either unwilling or incom- 
petent to protect the interests of the general public. It has so linked the 
country to Wall street that the sins of the speculators are visited upon the 
whole people. While refusing to rescue the wealth producers from spoliation 
at the hands of the stock gamblers and speculators in farm products, it 
has deposited treasury funds, without interest and without competition, in 
favorite banks. It has used an emergency for which it is largely respon- 
sible to force through congress a bill changing the basis of bank currency 
and inviting market manipulation, and has failed to give to the fifteen mil- 
lion depositors of the country protection in their savings. 

We believe that insofar as the needs of commerce require an emergency 
currency, such currency should be issued and controlled by the federal gov- 
ernment and loaned on adequate security to national and state banks. We 
pledge ourselves to legislation under which the national banks shall be 
required to establish a guarantee fund for the prompt payment of the deposi- 
tors of any insolvent national bank, under an equitable system which shall 
be available to all state banking institutions wishing to use it. 

We favor a postal savings bank if the guaranteed bank cannot be se- 
cured, and believe that it should be so constituted as to keep the dejfosited 



332 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

money in the communities where the depositors live. But we condemn the 
policy of the republican party in proposing postal savings banks under a plan 
of conduct by which they will aggregate the deposits of the rural communi- 
ties and redeposit the same while under government charge in the banks of 
Wall street, thus depleting the circulating medium of tlie producing regions 
and unjustly favoring the speculative markets. 



Labor and Injunctions. 

The courts of justice are the bulwarks of our liberties and we yield to 
none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our party has given to the 
bench a long line of distinguished judges who have added to the respect and 
confidence in which this department mu^ be jealously maintained. We re- 
sent the attempt of the republican party to raise a false issue respecting the 
judiciary. It is an unjust reflection upon a great body of our citizens to as- 
sume that they lack respect for the courts. It is the function of the courts 
to interpret the laws which the people create, and if the laws appear to work 
economic, social or political injustice, it is our duty to change them. The 
only basis upon which the integrity of our courts can stand is that of un- 
swerving justice and protection of life, personal liberty and property. If 
judicial processes may be abused, we should guard them against abuse. 

Experience has proven the necessity of a modification of the present law 
relating to injunctions, and we reiterate the pledge of our national platforms 
of 1S96 and 1904 in favor of the measure which passed the United States 
senate in 1896, but which a republican congress has ever since refused to 
enact, relating to contempts in federal courts and providing for trial by jury 
in cases of indirect contempt. 

Questions of judicial practice have arisen especially in connection with 
industrial disputes. We believe that the parties to all judicial proceedings 
should be treated with rigid impartiality and that injunctions should not be 
issued in any cases in which injunction would not issue if no industrial dis- 
putes were involved. 

The expanding organization of industry makes it essential that there 
should be no abridgement of the right of wage earners and producers to 
organize for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor conditions, 
to the end that such labor organizations and their members should not be 
regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade. 

We favor the eight-hour day on all government work. 

We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law by congress 
as far as the federal jurisdiction extends, for a general employers' liability 
act covering injury to body or loss of life of employes. 

We pledge the democratic party to the enactment of a law creating a 
department of labor, represented separately in the president's cabinet, in 
which department shall be included the subject of mines and mining. 



The Philippines. 

We condemn the experiment in imperialism as an inexcusable blunder 
which has involved us in enormous expense, brought us weakness instead of 
strength, and laid our nation open to the charge of abandoning a fundamental 
doctrine of self government. We favor an immediate declaration of the 
nation's purpose to recognize the independence of th Philippine islands as 
soon as a stable government can be established, such independence to be 
guaranteed by us as we guaranteed, the independence of Cuba, until the 
neutralization of the islands can be secured by treaty with other powers. In 
recognizing the independence of the Philippines our government should retain 
such land as may be necessary for coaling stations and naval bases. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 333 

Waterways. 

Water furnishes the cheaper means of transportation and the national 
government having the control of navigable waters should improve them to 
their fullest capacity. We earnestly favor the immediate adoption of a lib- 
eral and comprehensive plan for improving every water course in the union 
which is justified by the needs of commerce, and to secure that end we 
favor, when practicable, the connection of the Great Lakes with the navi- 
gable rivers and with the Gulf through the Mississippi river, and the navi- 
gable rivers with each other by artificial canals, with a view to perfecting 
a system of inland waterways to be navigated by vessels of standard draught. 

We favor the co-ordination of the various services of the government 
connected with waterways in one service for the purpose of aiding in the 
completion of such a system of inland waterways; and we favor the creation 
of a fund ample for continuous work which shall be conducted under the ' 
direction of a commission of experts to be authorized by law. 

Merchant Marine. 

We believe in the upbuilding of the American merchant marine without 
new or additional burdens upon the people and witliout bounties, from the 
public treasury. 

The Navy. 

The constitutional provision that a navy shall be provided and maintained 
means an adequate navy, and we believe that the interests of tliis country 
would be best served by having a navy sufficient to defend the coasts of this 
country and protect American citizens wherever their rights may be in 
jeopardy. 

Protection of American Citizens. 

We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our 
citizens at home and abroad and to use all proper methods to secure for 
them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinction of race 
or creed, the equal protection of tlie law and the enjoyment of all rights and 
privileges open to them under our treaties; and if, under existing treaties, 
the right of travel and sojourn is denied to American citizens or recognition 
is withlield from American passports by any countries on the ground of race 
or creed, we favor prompt negotiations with the government of sucli coun- 
tries to secure the removal of these unjust discriminations. 

We demand that all over the world a duly authenticated passpin-t issued 
by the government of the United States to an American citizen shall be 
proof of the fact that he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to 
the treatment due him as such. 

Foreign Patents. 

We believe that where an American citizen holding a patent in a foreign 
country is compelled to manufacture under his patent within a creditable 
time, similar restriction should be applied in this country, to the citizens 
or subjects of such a country. 

Civil Service. 

The law pertaining to the civil service should be honestly and rigidly en- 
forced, to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appoint- 
ment and promotion, rather than services rendered to a political party. 



334 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Pensions. 

We favor a generous pension policy, both as a matter of justice to the 
surviving veterans and their dependents, and because it tends to relieve the 
ment and promotion, rather than services rendered to a politiial party. 

Health Bureau. 

We advocate the organization of all existing national public health agen- 
cies into a national bureau of public health, with such power over sanitary 
conditions connected with factories, mines, tenements, child labor, and such 
other subjects as are properly within the jurisdiction of the federal govern- 
ment, and do not interfere with the power of the states controlling public 
health agencies. 

Agricultural and Mechanical Education. 

The democratic party favors the extension of agricultural, mechanical 
and industrial education. We therefore favor the establishment of district 
agricultural experiment stations and secondary agricultural and mechanical 
colleges in the several states. 

Oklahoma. 

We welcome Oklahoma to the sisterhood of states and heartily congratu- 
late her upon the auspicious beginning of a great career. 

Arizona and New Mexico. 

The national democratic party has for the last sixteen years labored for 
the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states of the federal 
union, and recognizing that each possesses every qualification successfully 
to maintain separate state governments, we favor the immediate admission 
of these territories as separate states. 

Alaska and Porto Rico. 

W demand for the people of Alaska and Porto Rico the full enjoyment 
of the rights and privileges of a territorial form of government, and that the 
officials appointed to administer the government of all our territories and 
the District of Columbia should be thoroughly qualified by previous bona 
fide residence. 

Hawaii. 

We favor the application of the principles of the land laws of the United 
States to our newly acquired territory, Hawaii, to the end that the public 
lands of that territory may be held and utilized for the benefit of bona fide 
homesteaders. 

Post Roads. 

We favor federal aid to state and local authorities in the construction 
and maintenance of post roads. 

Natural Resources. 

We repeat the demand for internal development, and for the conserva- 
tion of our natural resources, contained in previous platforms, the enforce- 
ment of which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly sought from a reluctant party; and 
to that end we insist upon the preservation, protection and replacement of 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 335 

needed forests, the preservation of the public domain for homesteaders, the 
protection of the nation's natural resources, in timber, coal, iron and oil, 
against monopolistic control, the development of our waterways for naviga- 
tion and every other useful purpose, including the irrigation of arid lands, 
the reclamation of swamp lands, the clarification of streams, the develop- 
ment of water power and the preservation of electric power generated by this 
natural force from the control of monopoly, and to such end we urge the 
exercise of all powers, national, state and municipal, both separately and 
in co-operation. 

We insist upon a policy of administration of our forest reserves, which 
shall relieve it of the abuses which have arisen thereunder and which shall, 
as far as practicable, conform to the police regulations of the several states 
wherein the reserves are located, which shall enable homesteaders as of right 
to occupy and acquire title to all portions thereof which are especially adapted 
to agriculture, and which shall furnish a system of timber sales available as 
well to the private citizen as to the large manufacturer and consumer. 

Grazing Lands. 

The establishment of rules and regulations, if any such are necessary in 
relation to free grazing upon the public lands outside of forest or other 
reservations until the same shall eventually be disposed of should be left to 
the people of the states respectively in which such lands may be situated. 

Pan-American Relations. 

The democratic party recognizes the importance and advantage of devel- 
oping closer ties of Pan-American friendship and commerce between the 
United States and her sister nations of Latin America, and favors the taking 
of such steps, consistent with democratic policies, for better acquaintance, 
greater mutual confidence and larger exchange of trade as will bring lasting 
benefit not only to the United States, but to this group of American republics 
having constitutions, forms of government, ambitions and interests akin to 
our own. 

Panama Control. 

We believe that the Panama canal will prove of great value to our country 
and favor its speedy completion. 

Asiatic Immigration. 

We favor full protection by both national and state governments within 
their respective spheres, of all foreigners residing in the United States under 
treaty, but we are opposed to the admission of Asiatic immigrants who can- 
not be amalgamated with our population or whose presence among us would 
raise a race issue and involve us in diplomatic controversies with oriental 
powers. 

Conclusion. 

The democratic party stands for democracy; the republican party has 
drawn to itself all that is aristocratic and plutocratic. 

The democratic party is the champion of equal rights and opportunities 
to all; the republican party is the party of privilege and private monopoly. 
The democratic party listens to the voice of the whole people and gauges 
progress by the prosperity and advancement of the average man; the repub- 
lican party is subservant to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries 



336 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

of governmental favoritism. We invite tlie co-operation of all, regardless of 
previous political affiliation or past differences, who desire to preserve a gov- 
ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, and who favor such 
an administration of the government as will insure, as far as human wisdom 
can, that each citizen shall draw from society a reward commensurate with 
his contribution to the welfare of society.

PLATFORM. 

The prohibition party of the United States assembled in convention at

PLATFORM. 

The socialist party, in national convention assembled, again declares it- 
self as the party of the working class, and appeals for the support of all 
workers of the United States and of all citizens who sympathize with the 
great and just cause of labor. 

We are at this moment in the midst of one of those industrial break- 
downs that periodically paralyze the life of the nation. The much-boasted 
era of our national prosperity has been followed by one of general misery. 
Factories, mills and mines are closed. Millions of men, ready, willing and 
able to provide tlie nation with all the necessities and comforts of life are 
forced into idleness and starvation. 

Within recent times the trusts and monopolies have attained an enor- 
mous and menacing development. They have acquired the power to dictate 
the terms upon which we shall be allowed to live. The trusts fix the prices 
of our bread, meat and sugar, of our coal, oil and clothing, of our raw ma- 
terial and machinery, of all the necessities of life. 

The present desperate condition of the workers has been made the oppor- 
tunity for a renewed onslaught on organized labor. The highest courts of the 
country have within the last year rendered decision after decision depriving 
the workers of rights which they had won by generations of struggle. 

The attempt to destroy the Western Federation of Miners, although de- 
feated by the solidarity of organized labor and the socialist movement, re- 
vealed the existence of a far-reaching and unscrupulous conspiracy by the 
ruling class against the organizations of labor. 

In their efforts to take the lives of the leaders of the miners the con- 
spirators violated state laws and the federal constitution in a manner seldom 
equaled even in a country so completely dominated by the profit-seeking class 
as is the United States. 

The congress of the United States has shown its contempt for the inter- 
ests of labor as plainly and unmistakably as have the other branches of gov- 
ernment. The laws for which the labor organizations have continually peti- 
tioned have failed to pass. Laws ostensibly enacted for the benefit of labor 
have been distorted against labor. 

The working class of the United States cannot expect any remedy for Its 
wrongs from the present ruling class or from the dominant parties. So long 
as a small number of individuals are permitted to control the sources of the 
nation's wealth for their private profit in competition with each other and 
for the exploitation of their fellowmen, industrial depressions are bound to 
occur at certain intervals. No currency reform or other legislative measures 
proposed by capitalist reformers can avail against these fatal results of utter 
anarchy in production. 

Individual competition leads inevitably to combinations and trusts. No 
amount of government regulation, or of publicity, or of restrictive legislation 
will arrest the natural course of modern industrial development. 

While our courts, legislatures and executive offices remain in the hands 
of the ruling classes and their agents, the government will be usd in the 
interest of these classes as against the toilers. 

Political parties are but the expression of economic class interests. The 
republican, the democratic, and the so-called "independence" parties and all 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 341 

parties other than the socialist party, are financed, directed and controlled 
by the representatives of different groups of the ruling class. 

In the maintenance of class government both the democratic and repub- 
lican parties have been equally guilty. The republican party has had control 
of the national government and has been directly and actively responsible 
for these wrongs. The democratic party, while saved from direct responsi- 
bility by its political impotence, has shown itself equally subservient to the 
aims of the capitalist class whenever and wherever it has been in power. 
The old chattel slave owning aristocracy of the south, which was the back- 
bone of the democratic party, has been supplanted by a child slave plutocracy. 
In the great cities of our country the democratic party is allied with the 
criminal element of the slums as the republican party is allied with the preda- 
tory criminals of the palace in maintaining the interest of the possessing class. 

The various "reform" movements and parties which have sprung up 
within recent years are -but the clumsy expression of widespread popular dis- 
content. They are not based on an intelligent understanding of historical 
development of civilization and of the economic and political needs of our 
time. They are bound to perish as the numerous middle class reform move- 
ments of the past have perished. 

Program. 

As measures calculated to strengthen the working class in its fight for 
the realization of this ultimate aim, ana to increase its power of resistance 
against capitalist oppression, we advocate and pledge ourselves and our 
elected officers to the following program: 

General Demands. 

1. The immediate government relief for the unemployed workers by 
building schools, by reforesting of cut-over and waste lands, by reclamation 
of arid tracts, and the building of canals, and by extending all other useful 
public works. All persons employed on such works shall be employed directly 
by the government under an eight-hour work day and at the prevailing union 
wages. The government shall also loan money to states and municipalities 
without interest for the purpose of carrying on public works. It shall con- 
tribute to the funds of labor organizations for the purpose of assisting their 
unemployed members, and shall take such other measures within its power 
as will lessen the widespread misery of the workers caused by the misrule 
of the capitalist class. 

2. The collective ownership of railroads, telegraphs, telephones, steam- 
ship lines and all other means of social transportation and communication 
and all land. 

3. The collective ownership of all industries which are organized on a 
national scale and in which competition has virtually ceased to exist. 

4. The extension of the public domain to include mines, quarries, oil wells, 
forests and water power. 

5. That occupancy and use of land be the sole title to possession. The 
scientific reforestration of timber lands, and the reclamation of swamp lands. 
The land so reforested or reclaimed to be permanently retained as a part of 
th public domain. 

6. The absolute freedom of press, speech and assemblage. 

Industrial Demands. 

7. The improvement of the industrial condition of the workers. 

(a) By shortening the work day in keeping with the Increased produo 
tlveness of machinery. 



342 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

(b) By securing to every worker a rest period of not less than a daj 
and a half in each week. 

(c) By securing a more effective inspection of workshops and factories. 

(d) By forbidding the employment of children under sixteen years of age. 

(e) By forbidding the interstate transportation of the products of child 
labor, of convict labor and all uninspected factories. 

(f) By abolishing official charity and substituting in its place compul- 
sory insurance against unemployment, illness, accidents, invalidism, old age 
and death. 

Political Demands. 

8. The extension of inheritance taxes, graduated in proportion to the 
amount of the bequests and to the nearness of kin. 

9. A graduated income tax. 

10. Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and women, and we pledge 
ourselves to engage in an active campaign in that direction. 

11. The initiative and referendum, proportional representation and the 
right of recall. 

12. The abolition of the senate. 

13. The abolition of the power usurped by the supreme court of the 
United States to pass upon the constitutionality of legislation enacted by 
Congress. National laws to be repealed or abrogated only by act of Congress 
or by a referendum of the whole people. 

14. That the constitution be made amendable by majority vote. 

15. The enactment of further measures for general education and for the 
conservation of health. Tlie bureau of education to be made a department. 
The creation of a department of public health. 

16. The separation of the present bureau of labor from the department 
of commerce and labor, and the establishment of a department of labor. 

17. That all judges be elected by fhe people for short terms, and that the 
power to issue injunctions shall be curbed by immediate legislation. 

18. The free administration of justice. 

Such measures of relief as we may be able to force from capitalism are 
but a preparation of the workers to seize the whole powers of government, 
in order that they may thereby lay hold of the whole system of industry and 
thus come to their rightful inheritance.

Temporary Chairman — Jacob S. Coxey, of Oliio. 
Permanent Chairman — George A. Honnecker, of New Jersey. 
Secretary — John S. Allen, of Oklahoma. 



PLATFORM. 
Preamble. 

The People's party of the United States in convention assembled at St 
Louis, Missouri, this 2nd day of April, 1908, with increased confidence in its 
contentions, reaffirms the declarations made by its national convention at 
Omaha. 

The admonition of Washington's farewell; the state papers of Jefferson 
and the words of Lincoln are the teachings of our greatest apostles of human 
rights and political liberty. There has been a departure from the teachings 
of these great patriots during recent administrations. The government haa 
been controlled so as to place the rights of property above the rights of hu- 
manity and has brought the country to a condition that is full of danger for 
our national well-being. Financial combinations have had too much power 
over Congress and too much influence with the administrative departments 
of the government. 

Prerogatives of government have been unwisely and often corruptly sur- 
rendered to corporate monopoly and aggregations of predatory wealth. The 
supreme duty of the hour is for the people to insist that these functions of 
government be exercised in their own interest. Not the giver of the "thirty 
pieces" of silver has been condemned, but the "Judas" that received them, 
execrated through the ages; the sycophants of monopoly deserve no better fate. 

Money. 

The Issuance of money is a function of government and should not be 
delegated to corporations or individuals. The constitution gives Congress 
alone the power to issue money and regulate the value therof. We therefore 
demand that all money shall be issued by the government direct to the people 
without the intervention of banks and shall be a full legal tender for all 
debts, public and private, and in quantity sufficient to supply the needs of the 
country. 

The Issue and distribution of full legal tender money from the treasury 
shall not be through private banks, preferred or otherwise, but direct to the 
people without interest for the construction and purchase of federal and In- 
ternal improvements, utilities and employment of labor. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 345 

Land. 

The public domain is tlie sacred heritage of all the people, and should 
be held for homesteads for actual settlers only. Alien ownership should be 
forbidden and lands now held by aliens or by corporations wlio have violated 
the conditions of their grants should be restored to the public domain. 

Trusts and Monopolies. 

To prevent unjust discriminatitms and monopoly the government should 
own and control the railroads and those public utilities which in their nature 
are monopolies. To perfect the postal service tlie government should own and 
operate the general telegraph and telephone systems and provide a parcels 
post. 

As to those trusts and monopolies which are not public utilities or natural 
monopolies we demand that those special privileges which they now enjoy and 
which alone enable them to exist should be immediately withdrawn. 

Corporations being the creatures of government should be subjected to 
such governmental regulation and control as will adequately protect the public. 

We demand the taxation of monopoly privileges while they remain in pri- 
vate hands to the extent of the value of the privilge granted. 

We demand that Congress shall enact a general law uniformly rgulatina 
the powers and duties of all incorporate'd companies doing interstate business. 

Initiative and Referendum. 

As a means of placing all public questions directly under the control of 
the people we demand that legal provision be made under which the people 
may exercise the initiative, referendum and proportional representation, and 
direct vote for all public officers witli the right of recall. 

We recommend a federal statute that will recognize the principle of the 
initiative and referendum, and thereby restore to the voters the right to 
instruct the national representatives. 

Labor. 

We believe in the right of those who labor to organize for their mutual 
protection and benefit, and pledge the efforts of the People's party to preserve 
this right inviolate. 

We condemn the recent attempt to destroy the power of trades unions 
through the unjust use of federal injunction, substituting government by in- 
junction for free government. 

We favor the enactment of legislation looking to the improvement of con- 
ditions for wage-earners. 

We demand the abolition of child labor in factories and mines, and the 
suppression of sweat-shops. 

We oppose the use of convict labor in competition with free labor. 

We demand the exclusion from American shores of foreign pauper labor 
imported to beat down the wages of intelligent American workingmen. 

We favor the eight-hour work day, and legislation protecting the lives 
and limbs of workmen through tlie use of safety appliances. 

We demand the enactment of an employers' liability act within consti- 
tutional bounds. 

We declare against the continuation of the criminal carelessness of the 
operation of mines through which thousands of miners have lost their lives 
to increase the dividends of stockholders and demand the immediate adoption 
of precautionary measures to prevent a repetition ot such liurrible catas- 
trophes. 



346 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

We declare that in time of depression wiien workingmen are tlirown into 
enforced idleness that works of public improvement should be at once inaug- 
urated and work provided for those who cannot otherwise secure employment. 

We especially emphasize the declaration of the Omaha platform that 
"Wealth belongs to him who creates it and every dollar taken from labor 
without a just equivalent is robbery." 

We congratulate the farmers of the'country upon the enormous growth of 
their splendid organizations and the good already accomplished through them, 
bringing higher prices for farm products and better conditions generally for 
those engaged in agricultural pursuits. We urge the importance of maintain- 
ing these organizations and extending their power and influence. 

Courts. 

We condemn all unwarranted assumption of authority by inferior federal 
courts in annulling, by injunction, the laws of the states, and demand legis- 
lative action by Congress which will inhibit such usurpation of such power in 
cases involving state legislation. 

We are opposed to gambling in futures. 

We present to all people the foregoing declaration of principles and poli- 
cies as our deep, earnest abiding convictions; and now, before the country and 
in the name of the great moral but eternal power in the universe that makes 
for right thinking and right living and determines the destiny of nations, thip 
convention pledges that the People's party will stand by these principles and 
policies in success and in defeat; that never again will the party by the 
siren songs and false promises of designing politicians be tempted to change 
its course or be again drawn upon the treaclierous rocks of fusion.

National convention, Chicago, July 27-28, 1908. 
Temporary Chairman — William R. Hearst, of New York. 
Permanent Chairman — Charles A. Walsh of Iowa. 
Secretary — William A. DeFord, of New York. 



PLATFORM. 

We, independent American citizens, representing the Independence party 
in forty-four states and two territories, have met in national convention to 
nominate, absolutely independent of all other political parties, candidates for 
President and Vice-President of the United States. 

Our action is based upon a determination to wrest the conduct of public 
affairs from the hands of selfish interests, political tricksters and corrupt 
bosses, and make the government, as the founders intended, an agency for the 
common good. 

At a period of unexampled national prosperity and promise, a staggering 
blow was dealt to legitimate business by the unmolested practice of stock 



348 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

watering and dishonest financiering. Multitudes of defenseless investors, 
thousands of honest business men and an army of idle workingmen are paying 
the penalty. Year by year, fostered by wasteful and reckless governmental 
extravagance, by the manipulation of trusts and by a privilege creating tar- 
iff, the cost of living mounts higher and higher. Day by day the control of 
the government drifts further away from the people and more firmly into 
the grip of machine politicians and party bosses. 

Relief for Voters. 

The Republican and Democrat parties are not only responsible for these 
conditions, but are committed to their indefinite continuance. Prodigal of 
promises, they are so barren of performance that to a new party of independ- 
ent voters the country must look for the establishment of a new policy and 
a return to genuine popular government. 

Our object is not to introduce violent innovations or startling new theo- 
ories. We of the Independence party look back, as Lincoln did, to the Dec- 
laration of Independence as tlie fountain head of all political inspiration. It 
is not our purpose to attempt to revolutionize the American system of govern- 
ment, but to restore the action of the government to the principles of Wash- 
ingon and Jefferson and Lincoln. It is not our purpose either to effect a 
radical change in the American system of government, but to conserve for the 
citizens of the United States their privileges and liberties won for them by 
the founders of this government and to perpetuate the principles and policies 
upon which the nation's greatness has been built. 

The Independence party is, therefore, a conservative force in American 
politics, devoted to the preservation of American liberty and independence, to 
honesty in elections, to opportunity in business and to equality before the 
law. Those who believe in the Independence party and work with it are con- 
vinced that a genuine democracy should exist; that a true republican form of 
government should continue; that the power of government should rest with 
the majority of the people, and that the government should be conducted for 
the benefit of the whole citizenship, rather than for special advantage of any 
particular class. 

Direct Nomination. 

As of first importance, in order to restore the power of government to the 
people to make their will supreme in the primaries, in the election and in the 
control of public officials after they have been elected, we declare for direct 
nominations, the initiative and referendum and the right of recall. 

It is idle to cry out against the evil of bossism while we perpetrate a sys- 
tem under which the boss is Inevitable. The destruction of an individual boss 
is of little value. The people in their politics must establish a system which 
will eliminate, not only an objectionable boss, but the system of bossism. 
Representative government is made a mockery by the system of modern party 
conventions dominated by bosses and controlled by cliques. "We demand the 
natural remedy of direct nominations by which the people not only elect, but, 
which is far more important, select their representatives. 

The Referendum. 

We believe in the principles of the initiative and referendum and we par- 
ticularly demand that no franchise grant go into operation until the terms and 
conditions have been approved by popular vote in the locality interested. 

The Recall. 

We demand for the people the right to recall public officials from public 
service. The power to make officials resides in the people, and in them also 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORM 349 

should reside the power to unmake and remove from office any official who 
demonstrates his unfitness or betrays the public trust. 

Corruption Funds. 

Of next importance in destroying the power of selfish special interests and 
the corrupt political bosses whom they control is to wrest from their hands 
their main weapon, the corruption fund. We demand severe and effective 
legislation against all forms of corrupt practices at elections and advocate 
prohibiting the use of any money at elections except for meetings, literature 
and the necessary traveling expenses of candidates. Bidding for votes, the 
Republican and Democratic candidates are making an outcry about publicity 
of contributions, although both the Republican and Democratic parties have 
for years consistently blocked every effort to pass a corrupt practices act. 
Publicity of contributions is desirable and should be required, but the main 
matter of importance is the use to which contributions are put. We believe 
that the dishonest use of money in the past, whether contributed by individ- 
uals or by corporations, has been chiefly responsible for the corruption which 
has undermined our system of popular government. 

Economic Administration. 

We demand honest conduct of public office and businesslike and economi- 
cal administration of public affairs, and we condemn the gross extravagance 
of federal administration and its appalling annual increase in appropriations. 
Unnecessary appropriations mean unnecessary taxes, and unnecessary taxes, 
whether direct or indirect, are paid by the people and add to the everincreas- 
Ing cost of living. 

Over- Capitalization. 

We condemn the evil of over-capitalization. Modern industrial conditions 
make the corporation and stock company a necessity, but over-capitalization 
in corporations is as harmful and criminal as is personal dishonesty in an 
individual. Compelling the payment of dividends upon great sums that have, 
never been invested, upon masses of watered stock not justified by the prop- 
erty, overcapitalization prevents the better wages, the better public services 
and the lower cost that sliould result from American inventive genius and 
the wide organization which is replacing costly individual competition. The 
collapse of dishonestly inflated enterprises robs investors, closes banks, de- 
stroys confidence and engenders panics. The Independenc party advocates 
as a primary necessity for sounder business conditions and improved public 
service the enactment of laws, state and national, to prevent watering of 
stocK, dishonest issues of bonds and otiier forms of corporation frauds. 

Labor. 

We denounce the so-called labor planks of the Republican and Demo- 
cratic platforms as political buncombe and contemptible clap-trap unworthy 
of national parties claiming to be serious and sincere. 

The Republican declaration that "no injunction or temporary restraining 
order should be issued without notice, except where irreparable injury would 
result from delay" is empty verbiage, for a showing of irreparable injury can 
always be made and is always made in ex parte affidavits. 

The Democratic declaration that "injunctions should not be issued in any 
case in which injunctions should not issue if no industrial dispute were in- 
volved" is meaningless and worthless. 



350 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Such insincere and meaningless declarations place a low estimate upon 
the intelligence of the average \mer:can workingman and exhibit either 
ignorance of or indifference to the real interests of labor. 

The Independence parly coiideiuiis tlie arbitrary use of the writ of in- 
junction and contempt proceedings as a violation of tlie fundamental 
American right of trial by jury. 

From the foundation of our government down to 1S72 the federal judiciary 
act prohibited the issue of any injunction without reasonable notice until 
after a hearing. We assert that in all actions growing out of a dispute be- 
tween employers and employes concerning terms or conditions of employment, 
no injunction should issue until after a trial upon the merits, that such trial 
should be had before a jury and that in no case of alleged contempt phould 
any person be deprived of liberty without a trial by jury. 

The Independence party believes that the distribution of wealth is as im- 
portant as the creation of wealth, and indorses those organizations among 
farmers and workers which tend to bring about a just discrimination of 
wealth through good wages for workers and good prices for farmers, and 
which protect the employer and the consumer through equality of price for 
labor and for product, and we favor such legislation as will remove them 
from the operation of the Sherman anti-trust law. 

Eight-Hour Day. 

We indorse the eight-hour day, favor its application to all government em- 
ployes and demand the enactment of laws requiring that all work done for 
the government, whether federal or state, and whether done dirctly or Indi- 
rctly through contractors or sub-contractors, shall be done on an eight-hour 
basis. 

We favor the enactment of a law condemning as illegal any combination 
or conspiracy to blacklist erpployes. 

We demand protection for workmen through enforced use of Btandard 
safety appliances and provisions of hygienic conditions in the operation of 
factories, railways, mills, mines and all Industrial undertakings. 

We advocate state and federal inspection of railways to secure a greater 
safety for railway employes and for the traveling public. 

We call for the enactment of stringent laws fixing Employers' liabilities 
and a rigid prohibition of child labor through co-operation between the state 
governments and the national government. 

We condemn the manufacture and sale of prison-made goods in the open 
market in competition with free labor manufactured goods. We demand that 
convicts be employed direct by different states in the manufacture of pro- 
ducts for use in state institutions and in making good roads and in no case 
sTiall convicts be hired out to contractors or sub-contractors. 

We favor the creation of a department of labor including mines and min» 
Ing, the head of which shall be a member of the president's cabinet. 

The great abuses of grain Inspection by which the producers are plun- 
dered, demand immediate and vigorous correction. To that end we favor 
federal inspection under a strict civil service law. 

Currency. 

The Independence party declares that the right to issue money is Inherent 
In the government and it favors the establishment of a central governmental 
bank through which the money so issued shall be put Into general circulation. 

The Tariff. 

We demand a revision of the tariff, not by the friends of the tariff, but

duties, with just consideration for tiie rights of the consuming public, and 
of established industry. There should be no protection for oppressive trusts 
which sell cheaply abroad and take advantage of tlie tariff at home to crush 
competition, raise prices, control production and limit work and wages. 

Railroads. 

The railroads must be kept open to all upon exactly equal terms. Every 
form of rebate and discrimination in railroad rates is a crime against business 
and must be stamped out. We demand adequate railroad facilities and advo- 
cate a bill empowering shippers in time of need to compel railroads to provide 
sufficient cars for freight and passenger traffic and other railroad facilities 
through summary appeal to the courts. We favor the creation of an Inter- 
state Commerce Court, whose sole function it shall be to review speedily and 
enforce summarily the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The 
Interstate Commerce Commission sliould have the power to initiate investi- 
gation into the reasonableness of rates and practices, and no increase in rates 
should be put into effect until opportunity for such investigation is afforded. 
The Interstate Commerce Commission should proceed at once with a physical 
valuation of railroads engaged in interstate commerce. 

Commercial Monopolies. 

We believe that legitimate organizations in business, designed to secure 
an economy of operation and increased production, are beneficial wherever the 
public participates in the advantages which result. 

We denounce all combinations for restraint of trade and for the establish- 
ment of monopoly in all products of labor and declare that such combinations 
are not combinations for production, but for extortion, and that activity in this 
direction is. not industry, but robbery. 

In cases of infractions of the anti-trust law or of the Interstate commerce 
act, we believe in the enforcement of a prison penalty against the guilty and 
responsible individuals controlling the management of the offending corpora- 
tions, rather than a fine imposed upon stockholders. 

Public Ownership. 

We advocate the extension of the principle of public ownership of public 
utilities, including railroads, as rapidly as municipal, state or national govern- 
ments shall demonstrate ability to cond»,<;t public utilities for the public 
benefit. We favor specifically government owaership of the telegraphs, such 
as prevails in every other civilized country in the world, and demand as an 
Immediate measure that the government shall purchase and operate tha tele- 
graphs in connection with the postal service. 

Parcels Post. 

The parcels post system should be rapidly and widely extended and gov- 
ernment postal savings banks should be established where the people's de- 
posits will be secure, the money to be loaned in the locality of the several 
banks and at a rate of Interest to be fixed by the government. 

Good Roads. 

We favor the immediate development of a national system of good roads 
connecting all states and national aid to states in the construction and main- 
tenance of post roads. , 



352 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Postal Censorship. 

We favor a court of review of the censorship and arbitrary rulings of the 
postoffice department. 

Statehood. 
We favor the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to separate statehood. 

Bucket Shops. 

We advocate such legislation, both state and national, as will suppress the 
bucket shop and prohibit the fictitious selling of farm products for futura de- 
livery. 

National Health Bureau. 

We favor the creation of a national department of public health to be 
presided over by a member of the medical profession, this department to ex- 
ercise such authority over matters of public health and hygiene and sanitation 
which come properly within the jurisdiction of the national government and 
does not interfere with the right of states or municipalities. 

Asiatic Exclusion. 

We oppose Asiatic immigration, which does not amalgamate with our 
population, creates race issues and un-American conditions and which re- 
duces wages and tends to lower the high standard of living and the high 
standard of morality which American civilization has established. 

We demand the passage of an exclusion act which shall protect American 
workingmen from competition with Asiatic cheap labor and which shall pro- 
tect American civilization from the contamination of Asiatic conditions. 

' The Navy. 

The Independence party declares for peace and against aggression and 
will promote the movement for the settlement of international disputes by 
arbitration. 

We believe, however, that a small navy is poor economy, and that a strong 
navy is the best protection in time of war and the best preventative of war. 
We therefore favor the speedy building of a navy sufficiently strong to protect 
at the same time both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States. 

Inland Waterways. 

We rejoice in the adoption by both the Democratic and Republican plat- 
forms of the demand of the Independence party for improved national water- 
ways and the Mississippi Inland Deep Waterways project, to complete a ship 
canal from the gulf to the great lakes. We favor the extension of this sys- 
tem to the tributaries of the Mississippi, by means of which thirty states shall 
be served and twenty thousand miles added to the coast line of the United 
States. The reclamation of arid lands should be continued and the irrigation 
program now contemplated by the government extended and steps taken for 
the conservation of the country's natural resources, which should be guarded 
not only against devastation and waste, but against falling into the control of 
monopoly. 

'i'hp almse.s grdwins: out of the administration of our forest reserves must 
be corrected and provision should be made for free grazing from public lands 
outside of forest or other reservation. In behalf of the people residing in arid 
portions of our western states we protest vigorously against the policy of the

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS IN 
STATEHOOD ELECTION, 1907 



DEMOCRATIC PARTY. 
(Adopted at Oklahoma City, June 18, 1907.) 

"We, the representatives of the democratic party of tlie State of 
Oklahoma, in appealing to the citizenship of our state for their sup- 
port, do respectfully submit these principles of self-government, for 
which we stand and which are of special interest in the pending 
campaign. 

"We believe that we should have the right of self-government im- 
mediately, without denial, delay or evasion. 

"We believe the people of Oklahoma should and will condemn at 
the polls the efforts of those who have been trying to defeat statehood 
for our people. 

"We submit to the people of Oklahoma the best state constitution 
that has ever been written, and in asking the suffrage of the patriotic 
citizenship of this state, we firmly stand upon this constitution in its 
entirety as our platform. 

"In tills splendid organic law we have carried out in perfect good 
faith every pledge made by us to the people of the state, and have 
drawn a constitution which not only protects the right to life, liberty 
and the pursuit of happiness of the citizens, but a constitution that 
takes the most advanced ground of any organic law in existence for 
the protection of the property rights of the people against the stealthy 
hand of ingenious modern monopoly. 

"We believe that as soon as possible and practicable the lands 
held by the state for educational purposes should be sold upon terms 
that shall be absolutely fair to tl e people of the state, preserving the 
preference rights to the lessees, guaranteed by the enabling act, to the 
end that such lands should become taxable and be made more valuable 
and productive bj^ the actual owner thereof. 

"We believe that the funds derived from the sale of such lands 
should be faithfully preserved and invested as provided by the 
constitution. 

"Wp believe that the present state sclools should be maintained, 
and that other necessary schools and state institutions should be 
established equitably throughout the state. 

"We favor the purchase of the segregated coal and asphalt lands 
at a fair price to be agreed upon between the state authorities and the 
Choctaw and Chickasaw governments, sub.iect to approval by a vote 
of the people of this state, before the contract of purchase shall become 
effective. 

"We favor the fullest development of such lands in the interest 
of the schools and charitable institutions and the production of cheap 
fuel for the people of this state. 

"We favor the immediate sale of the surface of such segregated 
coal and asphalt lands in small tracts to actual settlers. 



356 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

"We strongly oppose the passing of the timber land and other 
natural resources of this state into the hands of the great private 
monopolies. 

"We believe the people of this sovereign state should have the 
full measure of liberty enjoyed by citizens of other sovereign -states. 

"We believe that the various federal bureaus established in this 
state should be immediately terminated and that the basis of this 
bureau government, the restrictions on the sale and lease of land of 
our citizens should be removed summarily, except as to homesteads of 
full-bloods; and we favor the immediate settlement of all tribal affairs 
and the immediate distribution of all tribal funds. 

"We believe that the estates of those mentally incompetent, of 
whatsoever race, should be protected by our state probate courts. We 
will take care of our own defectives of whatever race or color, and 
will not rely upon the federal government to discharge this proper 
function of our own state. 

"We I)elieve that it is of the greatest importance to the develop- 
ment of our new state, to give perfect safety and assurance to invested 
capital, and that where complete security is afforded, capital will gladly 
seek investment at the lowest rates of interest. 

"We draw a broad line of distinction between capital invested in 
honest enterprises and predatory capital engaged in conspiracy against 
the proceeds of labor of the American lieople. We opuose those crafty 
corporations wl ich artfully contrive to destroy comnetition and thus 
fix arbitrary prices on the necessities of life and on those things which 
are produced by our own people. We do not intend to encourage 
predatory capital in this state. We do intend to protect our people in 
the proceeds of their honest labor. We favor especial care for the 
protection of the rights and interests of the laboring people, such as 
the farmers, the miners, the artisan, the small tradesman and the 
women and children of this state. 

"We favor the speedy development of all our natural resources and 
especially of our oil and gas region. 

"We favor the development of every form of manufacture, for 
which our natural resources so well qualify the state. 

"We pledge the passage of a road law that will enable the people 
in each county to provide for themselves a good system of roads. 

"We recognize the education of the people as absolutely essential 
to the development of the state, and to the continuance of supremacy 
of the democratic party. We pledge the party to vigorously promote 
in every reasonable way our public school system, so that tl e state 
shall stand in- the front rank in the educational column. 

"We pledge the people of this state an economical and faithful 
administration of its affairs, and that the state taxes shall be as low 
as possible for the conduct of a state government properly 
administered. 

"We approve the resolutions of the constitutional convention of 
March 1, 1907. jiledging the enactment of laws at the earliest possible 
date during the first session of the first legislature providing for sep- 
arate coaches or accommodations and waiting roms for t' e negro race. 
We pledge in like manner to carry into effect the provisions in the 
constitution for separate schools for the negro race. 

"The question of prohibition has been removed from partisan poll- 
tics and has been left to a vote of the people in accordance with the 
principles of the referendum. 

"In the constitution which we submit we call attention to the 
important fact that we have faithfully carried out every pledge made 
to the people in the last campaign. 



ELEC'TIONS -VXD PLATFORMS 357 

"We unreservedly endorse the action of the democratic majoritj- 
in its faithful compliance in drawing the constitution in accordance 
with our pledges to the people, and we pledge that the democratic 
party, if entrusted with power in administration cf the state govern- 
ment, will faithfully enforce, execute and carry into effect every prin- 
ciple of said constitution as adopted by the people and a strict enforce- 
ment of every law enacted by the people or legislature of this state. 

"We hereiiy express our allegiance to the great principles of gov- 
ernment, advocated by the national democratic party, upon which we 
believe, the future welfare of tl is republic must depend. 

"We reaffirm our allegiance to that greatest living exponent of 
democratic principles, William .Jennings Bryan, and endorse him for 
our presidential nominee in 1908. 

"We emphatically demand the reasonable and proper control of 
transportation and transmission companies and tiie supervision 
and control of all enterprises engaged in interstate commerce. 

"We favor the improvement of the waterways of the Mississippi 
Vallev and the establishment of water transportation wherever prac- 
ticable throughout the Union. 

"We believe that the patriotic element of the republican party are 
no longer able to control or greatly influence that great politcal organ- 
ism. We believe tVat the machinery in that party has fallen under 
the insidious influence of the great plutocratic powers and organized 
monopolies of this nation. 

"We deno'ince and condemn the national republican partv for the 
lavif h use of money belonging to the people of Oklahoma in the recla- 
mation service in other states, and pledge our members in our national 
congress to use their best efforts to require the reclamation service to 
use the money belonging to Oklahoma in Oklahoma. 

"We believe that the vast ccntributions of money by these special 
interests have .given such interests such power over the republican 
party that a remedy for national conditions under which the people 
suffer is impossible through that party. 

"We appeal, therefore, to every good citizen who places patriotism 
above commercialism, happiness and the welfare of the great body of 
our producing classes above the enrichment of the few; and who 
believes in local self government, to join us in a holy crusade for the 
restoration to the people of their rights. 

"We enjoin upon the advocates of democracy that they treat with 
special respect those of our fellow citizens who by environment, affili- 
ation or for other reasons, have heretofore affiliated with other par- 
ties, and we urge them to use only sound argument, in appealing to 
their reason and to use the force of courtesy and kindness in persuad- 
ing to join us in the great task of restoring to the American people 
their rights in the pursuit of happiness." 



3S« OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 



REPUBLICAN PARTY 
(Adopted at Tulsa, August 2, 1907.) 



"1. The republicans of the new state of Oklahoma in convention 
assembled, mindful of their responsibilities, but conscious of their 
strength, approach their new duties without a fear and gladly wel- 
come the work of the pending contest. Inspired by the illustrious 
history of their party for the past half century, from Fremont, the 
intrepid pathfinder, to Roosevelt, the terror of the trusts, they are 
ready to do their part in upholding the invincible principles of repub- 
licanism. The party has achieved its wonderful success because it 
has been right and in harmony with the needs, hopes and aspirations 
of humanity. Led by Lincoln, the great emancipator, by Grant, tlie 
unconquerable, and by the sainted McKinley, the foremost champion 
of protection to American labor, the party hns placed upon our mighty 
nation the peerless stamp of primacy among the nations of the eartli. 

"2. There is confided to the new state the de: tiny of two million 
intelligent, deserving people, for weal or woe. It is the duty of 
republicanism to see that the beneficent principles and policies which 
have made our nation great, shall be put into operation in the 
new state. 

"3. Proud of the history and achievements of the party of pro- 
tection and prosperity, of expansion and enliglitenment, 'of loyalty 
and of patriotism, of sound policies and of sound dollars; the party 
that upholds the principles of human rights and personal liberty, of 
local self-government and of equal rights to all persons regardless 
of race, creed, color, or locality; the party of industrial development 
and provides profitable employment for labor and remunerative in- 
vestment for capital; the party that recognizes the supremacy of the 
national government and enforces obedience to law, the party that 
has throttled the trusts and dismantled monopolies, and animated by 
its laudable deeds and inspired by its brilliant future, the republican 
party of young Oklahoma springs joyously to its opportunities and 
fearlessly takes its place in the advancing battle line for human rights 
and human progress, determined that the favored star of Oklahoma 
shall give added luster to the constellation of states. 

"4. The true test of a party's worth is its record, not its promise, 
but performances; not pledges, but deeds. With confidence in the 
sober, discriminate judgment of the people, republicans refer to the 
work of the last congress as proof of their statesmanship and a just 
and ample recognition of the public needs. The railroad rate and 
anti-pass law, of general benefit to all the people; the employers' 
liability law, for the benefit of injured laborers; the law limiting the 
hours of service for employes upon railroads; the free alcohol law, 
for industrial purposes; the law prohibiting corporations from con- 
tributing to political campaigns or for election purposes; the pure food 
and drug laws and meat inspection requirements, looking to the preser- 
vation of the health of all the people; the service pension act, by 
which the defenders of our country in army and navy are liberally 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS • 359 

provided for in old age; the laws enlarging the powers of the inter- 
state commerce commission in the interests of cheaper transportation 
rates; legislation insuring the speedy completion of the Panama canal, 
by which we will control the commerce of the Orient and enable our 
enlarged navy to command our vast coast and numerous harbors upon 
two great oceans; the law for the final disposition of the affairs 
of the Five Civilized Tribes; the appropriations for improvement of 
waterways and the reclamation of agricultural lands; the national 
quarantine law, for the prevention of epidemics and protection of life*,, 
the law limiting the classes and character of emigrants; the enabling 
act, which tenders the coveted boon of statehood to two million people, 
are in themselves ample proof of the watchful care of the people's 
interests by republican legislatures. 'By their fruits you shall know 
them.' 

••5. We hail with pride the bold and fearless leader, the match- 
less statesman, the patriotic citizen, the loyal American, our honored 
and respected president, Theodore Roosevelt. He has unflinchingly 
met every issue in the open and firmly advocated the right. He is 
tne relentless foe of greed and graft and the trusted friend' of honest 
effort. He has given to combined capital and to organized labor a 
fair hearing and a square deal. He has compelled trusts and unlawful 
combinations to recognize organized government, observe the law and 
observe the courts. He has heralded the message of peace to warring 
nations and has prepared our country for war should any foreign 
power dare to insult our flag or impose upon an American citizen. 
By his dauntless vigilance and splendid diplomacy our nation has been 
made to take a higher place among nations of the world, while by his 
purity or purpose and nobility of character, our citizenship has attained 
a higher standard of excellence. We approve and commend his public 
acts and teachings and pledge him a continuance of our loyal and 
earnest support. 

"tj. A republican president, republican congress and republican 
delegate gave to us the enabling act, under which the people of the 
twin territories are authorized to form a state government and adopt 
a constitution which will admit the progressive and prosperous com- 
monwealth of Oklahoma into the union of states upon an equal footing 
with that of every other state. And we denounce the infamous, greedy 
partisan spirit which actuated the democratic majority in the consti- 
tutional convention, dominated by the treacherous and slippery boss— 
their present nominee for governor. They conceived in secret, partisan 
eaucus and adopted under tyrannical rule a document which was so 
hostile to the federal government and its brave defenders and which 
was so disloyal to pure republican institutions, that after having in 
their state platform declared it the best constifition, that the.\- were 
forced by an outraged public sentiment to reconvene and modify its 
provisions before submitting it for the action of an intelligent, fair 
minded people. 

"After laborious effort they have now submitted an instrument 
which denies to each citizen equal rights under the law with every 
other citizen; deprives the minority of their just proportion of repre- 
sentation; unfairly discriminates in favor of one locality against an- 
other; increases the liurdens of taxation without compensating benefits 
discourages industrial and commercial development; lessens the de- 
mand for labor and decreases wages: antagonizes capital and depre- 
ciates investments; repudiates public obligations and destroys public 
credit, and has already brought a blight upon the fair name of the 
proposed state. 

"7. The democratic party of Oklahoma and Indian Territories, 
bv its lack of judgment and statesmanship, its inability to compre- 



360 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

hend the needs of the people or to deal with the problems of govern- 
ment, its disregard of the rights of persons and property, its arrogant 
assumption of virtue without wisdom, as exemplified by the conduct 
of its representatives in the constitutional convention, has proven its 
incompetency to control the governmental affairs o| a great state, 
and has forfeited all claim to the suffrage of the electors of the 
proposed state. In the adoption of the provisions of the proposed 
constitution by the exercise of arbitrary and tyrannical power, it 
trampled upon the cherished rights of local self-government. In the' 
interest of corrupt townsite promoters and county seat boosters, it 
wantonly and needlessly butchered county boundaries and obliterated 
existing municipalities in disregard of the wishes of the inhabitants 
and over their determined objections. 

"It created a state government with an army of unnecessary 
officers at such extravagant salaries that the raising of necessary 
revenues to meet the required expenses will pauperize the taxpayers 
and bankrupt the public treasury. 

"With no regard for economy, or the burdens of taxation, it pro- 
vides for a large number of small counties, many of which do not 
contain a sufficient amount of taxable property to, at any reasonable 
rate of taxation, provide sufficient revenues to meet the ordinary 
current expenses, thus impoverishing the property owners and destroy- 
ing public credit. 

"It impairs the efficiency of our public school system by provid- 
ing inadequate levies for school revenues, thus shortening the school 
terms, depriving our children of adequate educational privileges and 
compelling thousands of trained and experienced teachers to seek 
more remunerative occupations. 

"It encourages anarchy and lawlessness by depriving the courts 
of an inherent power to adequately enforce obedience to their orders 
for the protection of property and preservation of the lives of the 
citizens. 

"It will materially increase the burdens of taxation upon taxable 
real estate and correspondingly reduce farm values. 

"It authorizes private property to be taken by private individuals 
for private uses, without the consent of the owner. 

"By wasting its time in useless partisan caucuses and prolonging 
its sessions unnecessarily, it has created an unreasonably large in- 
debtedness, in excess of the amount proportioned by congress, which 
the property owners of the new states are required to assume and pay. 

"In apportioning representation in the legislature, they, for base, 
partisan purposes unjustly and grossly discriminated against repub- 
lican localities in favor of democratic localities. 

"In the creation of courts and judicial districts, they committed 
the execrable crime of attempting to make the courts partisan and 
subject to political control and created particular districts for special 
members of their own body. 

"It deprives the governor of the power, in case of insurrection or 
rebellion, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, thus inviting hostile 
conflict between the military and civil branches of the state govern- 
ment should it become necessary to declare martial law in order to 
preserve the lives and liberties of our citizens. 

"It is unrepublican and violates the spirit of fairness and equality 
which characterizes the declaration of independence. 

"It fails to make provisions for revenue for the maintenance of 
separate schools, thus either forcing mixed schools, or de))riving a 
portion of our people of educational facilities. 

"8. The republican party, the special champion of the doctrine 
of the free ballot and fair count, concedes to every elector the right 
to cast his ballot as his enlightened judgment and conscience may 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 361 

suggest. In the event that this partisan constitution shall become 
the fundamental law of the state we pledge the republican party of 
the state to use every means at our command to secure the speedy 
elimination of its objectionable features and to make it conform to 
tlie needs and requirements of the people and the interests of the 
state. On tlie other hand, if the judgment of the voters of this state, 
expressed at the polls, shall be against this proposed constitution, 
or if it shall be disapproved by President Roosevelt, we assure the 
people that republicans of the two territories and of the nation will 
exercise their power to have the comiiig congress at its first session, 
pass a new enabling act, at the earliest date possible during said 
session, under which a constitution and state government may be 
formed free from partisan bais and fair alike to all persons, interests 
and localities. 

"9. The democratic majority in the constitutional convention, 
by reason of tiieir timidity and cowardice, have failed to submit to 
the peoi-'le a finished document and adjourn after three separate 
attempts covering a period of over eight months, when the work 
should have been completed in sixty days. And all this at an enormous 
expense. They have again taken a recess until the day previous to the 
election upon the constitution. Unwilling to risk their work to the 
discriminating judgment of an intelligent public they claim tlie r;ght 
to reconvene and make further amendments. Such trifling with the 
rights and confidence of a long-suffering public is a menace to honest 
government. The people demand that if more changes are to be made 
they reconvene at once, complete the instrument, file it and adjourn 
sine die, that the people may act intelligently upon what is before 
them with no possibility of having a constitution to vote upon differ- 
ent from the one on which the election is called. 

"10. The safety of a republican form of government depends upon 
the intelligence and patriotism of citizenship. Contentment makes 
patriots. The great laboring classes are the steel framework of the 
republic. The better they are prepared for the duties of citizenship 
the stronger and more permanent the structure. We favor the enact- 
ment of such laws as will give just recognition to organised labor, 
the fullest security to individual effort, minimize the hours of labor 
and insure the highest degree of safety in places where laborers are 
required to work. We believe in the principles of arbitration, and 
that differences between employers and employes should be adjusted 
by arbitration whenever possible. The employment of children of 
tender years in mines or factories is an evil heritage to posterity and 
would be a disgrace to the state; and we demand such laws as will 
effectually prohibit such employment. 

"11. We approve the highly intelligent and competent administra- 
tion of territorial affairs by Governor Frank Frantz. In his just 
and equitable handling of school land problems, his successful efforts 
in bringing about cheaper transportation rates for both producers 
and consumers in Oklahoma, his safe and economic management of 
the fiscal affairs of Oklahoma, his impartial and judicious enforce- 
ment of the laws, he has earned and commands the respect and entire 
confidence of the people. His official experience, his knowledge of 
the conditions and requirements of the coming state, his ability to deal 
fairly with men of all races and classes, his integrity of character 
and stubborn determination to give to every person and interest a 
square deal, peculiarly equip and qualify him for the first governor 
of the State of Oklahoma; and we confidently commend Honorable 
Frank Frantz, the gallant soldier, the popular governor, the loyal 
Oklahoman, to the electors of the new state tor its firPt governor; 
and we invite all lovers of honesty, justice and right to join with us 
in securing his election.

"12. We are thoroughly in favor of the American and republican 
policy of adequate protection to our labor and industries. We believe 
that the unprecedented prosperity which we have enjoyed for the 
past decade is due to the splendid home market built up and main- 
tained by our protective tariffs in general and the Dingley law in 
particular, giving a full measure of employment, high wages and equi- 
table prices to all. We have confidence in our chosen national legis- 
lators ^nd insist that when revision of the tariff is made it shall be 
made by republicans and protectionists, without prejudice to any sec- 
tion, any class or any industry. 

"13. The republican party is the anti-trust party. All legislation 
in the national congress for the regulation and control of trusts and 
combines operating in restraint of trade or commerce has been enacted 
by the republican party. The work of the last congress and the de- 
termined efforts of President Roosevelt have proven to the people that 
the republican is the only party to be depended upon in destroying 
trusts and monopolies. The paper trust has been wiped out, the beef 
trust has been made to respect the rights of the people, the iron pipe 
trust, the railroad freight tratflc trust, the drug trust, tobacco trust, 
lumber trust, wire trust, match trust, the Standard Oil, have all been 
upon the rack and will be made to cease their extortions. Tie repub- 
lican party will protect the people against trusts and unlawful combi- 
nations in restraint of trade. The democratic party, by its failure to 
define and prohibit trusts and monopolies in the proposed constitu- 
tion of Oklahoma, has shown its subserviency to corporation interests 
and its incapacity to deal with great political problems. 

"14. The producers and consumers of shipped products in the 
twin territories have for years been compelled to pay exhorbitant 
transportation charges, and have been furnishing the funds for divi- 
dends to corporation stockholders, wi ile supulied with inade()uate and 
inferior facilities. With the coming of statehood, we demand a square 
deal. With no reckless hostility to corporate interests or investments, 
we favor the enactment and enforcement of such legislation as will 
compel all railway, express and transportation companies doing busi- 
ness within the state of Oklahoma to carry the freight and passenger 
traffic within the state at such reasonable rates as will be just to the 
shipper and at the same time provide a fair return \ipon the actual 
investment of capital in such company. We demand that the man 
who pays the freight in Oklahoma shall be put upon an equal footing 
with the same class of persons in other states. 

"15. A magnificent fund has been created from the sale of public 
lands, to be used to provide means for the storage of water and the 
irrigation of arid lands. A large portion of this fund arose from the 
sale of lands in Oklahoma. In the past the people of Oklahoma have 
refused to admit that any portion of their territory is within the arid 
belt, but as there is a considerable area of agricultural lands in the 
state which can be made more productive bv irrigation, and a large 
body of rich bottom lands which are too wet for cultivation, we favor 
such modification of the federal laws as will permit Oklahoma's share 
of this fund to be used within the state for either reclamation of 
arid or wet lands by drainage or irrigation, as may be found the most 
practicable. 

"16. Individual ownership of the soil and the establishment of 
permanent homes has ever been one of the strongest incentives to 
intellectual and industrial development. Tt strengthens the family 
ties, inspires love of home and loyalty to country. The republican 
party, proud of its record in adoptipg the generous provisions of the 
homestead and free home law, whereby millions of happy and pros- 
perous homes haVe been provided for the tillers of the soil, and loyal 
to its principles, declares its opposition to any system which fosters 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFOltMS 363 

a condition of tenantry and withholds a vast area of our domain from 
the burdens of taxation; and we favor the sale by the first legislature 
of the public lands donated to the state, upon long time and easy pay- 
ments, at a reasonable rate of interest upon deferred payments, with 
preference rights to the lessee, under such safeguards as will prevent 
the acquisition of these lands by speculators; and we demand that the 
proceeds realized from the sale of school and indemnity lands shall 
be held inviolate as a permanent trust fund for the benefit of our 
schools, the principle never to be diminished, and we demand the en- 
actment of such laws for the control and safe investment of the per- 
manent school fund as will prohibit the accumulation of large sums 
in the treasury. We favor the loaning of such funds upon the im- 
proved agricultural lands in the state of Oklahoma to actual residents 
upon the lands, on long time and such reasonable rates of interest as 
will insure its constant investment. 

"17. We demand tl:e removal of all restrictions upon the aliena- 
tion of lands belonging to Indians. We favor the enactment of such 
laws by congress as will give to each member of the Indian tribes in 
this state, all the rights and privileges of other American citizens, in- 
cluding the right to control, sell, lease, mortgage, or devise the lands 
allotted to him. the same as white persons under similar conditions: 
except that the homestead of full bloods shall be inalienable, as now 
provided by law, and we request our members in congress to urge 
such immediate legislation. 

"18. TVe inception of all .traffic is over the public roads. The 
farmers and land owners are entitled to assistance in improvina and 
making them good. Federal and state aid should be extended for 
their improvement. Post roads for rural mail, and the highways of 
the people should be placed and maintained in condition commensu- 
rate with the greatness of our nation and state. We favor the enact- 
ment of the most liberal laws to secure this result. 

"19. Nature has endowed the new state most bountifully. We 
have a supply of oil an dgas sufficient to supply all our needs for years 
to come. Profiting by the experience of others, we favor the enact- 
ment of sucb laws as will foster and protect the oil and gas industry, 
controlling their consumption and preventing waste. 

"20. The great natural, waterways are the people's highways, and 
their improvement and use cheapens transi)ortation and increases the 
market prices of agricultural products and other commodities. We 
favor the apniopriation by congress of such liberal s'lms for the im- 
provement of our rivers as will maintain them in navigable condition 
at all times to the highest points practicable. 

"21. The republicans of the combined territories desire to express 
to Hon. Bird S. McGuire their hearty appreciation of his able and valu- 
able work in the interests of statehood and in securing the passage of 
the enabling act. His work in congress as a delegate has been in the 
interests of the people of the entire state, without discrimination. We 
consratulate the republicans of the First congressional district in 
making him their nominee. He has .iustly earned the reward of a seat 
in congress from the new state, and as an evidence of our gratitude 
and appreciation we tender him our united and enthusiastic support. 

"22. We heartily endorse the nomination of Governor T. B. Fer- 
guson for congress in the Second district. His progressive and honest 
administration as governor of Oklahoma proves his fitness as a public 
official. He merits the election we feel the people will accord him by 
a large majority. 

"23. We pledge the people in the big pasture, who are the pur- 
chasers of the land therein from the government, that its representa- 
tives in congress will use every endeavor to procure an extension of 
one year, to make their payments mature in 1908. 



364 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

"24. We favor the immediate payment by the United States gov- 
ernment to the Choctaw-Chickasaw citizens for their improvement on 
segregated coal and asphalt lands, as provided by the treaty or agree- 
ment ratified on September 25, 1902. 

"25. We favor the passage of laws by the next session of con- 
gress, providing for the immediate sale of all segregated coal and 
asphaltum lands and the per capita pa.\raent to the members of the 
nations owning such lands, of the money received from such sales. 

"We favor the immediate settlement of all Indian claims and the 
immediate payment to the Indians of all claims and invested funds, 
by congress. 

"With full appreciation of past achievements of the rei)ublican 
party so ably performed, our present organization and leadership pre- 
eminent, we submit the above declaration of our future usefulness and 
work, and go before the people pledged to their performance and in- 
vite the co-operation of all good citizens, regardless of past political 
affiliations." 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 365 



DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM 

1910. 



"On tl is the threshold of the third state campaign since entrusted 
v.'ith power, the democratic party of Oklahoma greets the citizenshi]) 
of the state and nation, exultant in the trumphant success of its ad- 
v?.nced principles of modern government, and progressive statesman- 
ship. Undismayed by the aspersions and assaults of the representa- 
tives of special interests at home and abroad, it greets the people of 
the state and nation with its constitution, its legislation and its cai- 
didates. Proud and triumpliant over every opposition and vigorous in 
its patriotic purposes it again invites the co-operation of all lovers of 
good government. 

"We endorse our democratic senators and representatives in the 
Congress of the United States, and in view of the pending invesr.iga- 
tion of Indian affairs we express our continued confidence in il'e honor 
and integrity of Senator Gore and commend his courageous sUmd in 
the interest of fair dealing for the Indians and for honesty in the 
government. 

Org.anic Law. 

"After a prolonged ])eriod of misrule, the hopeless i)eopU^ of fjie 
two territories availed themselves of the earliest opportunity to be 
relieved of the burdens under which they traveled, and the intelligence 
of the state confidently entrusted to our party the duty of formulating 
its organic law, and vitalizing it by appropriate legislation. The 
marked success achieved has been due to tie active co-operation and 
sympathy of the honest people of all parties, and in spite of and over 
the malignant slander of a venal organization and press representing 
in its purpose the destruction of the good achieved. We deplore the 
in.iury, real or seeming, this organization has done the business and 
other interests of the state, and as evidence of its hypocrisy, point to 
the fact that while condemning the constitution, it has never assaulted 
it by any proposed amendment. We congratulate the citizenship of 
the state in the fact that every pledge made has been fulfilled, every 
duty assumed met, and that though charged with the responsibility of 
four great legislative assemblies, dealing with plenary power with the 
great moneyed interests of the state and nation, no agency has yet 
had the temerity to charge any one of them or any member thereof 
with dishonesty, bribery or graft. 

Faith in Party. 

"We reaffirm our faith in and adherence to the fundamental prin- 
ciples of the democratic party as proclaimed by the founders of the 
party and adhered to by all lovers of good government. 

"We endorse the wise leadership of Gov. C. N. Haskell, the admin- 
istration of public affairs in this state by tlie democratic party, in the 
legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, as able and 
economical. 



366 • OKLAl{OMA RED BOOK 

"No party in the history of the country is capable of showins a 
record of achievement which surpasses the one made by the democracy 
of this state since statehood. Every pledge made to tlie people has 
been fully redeemed. In substantiation of this statement we point 
with pride to the fact that among the pledges made to tie people in 
our previous platform may be mentioned the separation of fhe races 
in schools and in traveling, improved revenue laws, sale of part of the 
public building lands, banking legislation, fee and salary legislation, 
good roads legislation, laws which preserve the natural gas of our 
state, and encourage the development of the oil industry and protect 
the independent producer, and likewise legislation promotive of the 
interests of the agricultural, labor and business interests. Every one or 
these demands have been enacted into law, and the democracy of the 
state stands pledged for the continuance of these policies. 

"We submit, therefore, that the democracy of this state is entitled 
to the continued confidence of its citizenship because it has fully kept 
faith with them. 

Labor. 

"The man who labors is entitled to the first and highest considera- 
tion. Without labor there is no progress and the democratic party of 
this state has demonstrated that it can be depended upon to conserve 
the rights of Oklahoma's toilers. Enumeration of its beneficient laws 
on the subject is unnecessary; in both constitution and statute they 
are recognized as the most advanced of any state in the nation; we 
pledge a continuation of the righteous policy producing them, and in 
keeping therewith approve the precedent act by Oregon and Illinois 
limiting the hours of labor for women to a maximum work day of ten 
hours in occupations other than domestic and agriculture. 

Agriculture. 

"No single interest of our state stands higher in importance than 
that of agriculture. And we pledge the democratic party to a continu- 
ance of the advanced policies which have marked its history to this 
time. 

"We favor the Oklahoma agricultural and industrial system of 
education; the continuation of all the laws now in force governing 
said system; the preservation of the present powers of the board of 
agriculture and method of electing the same, and a sufficient appropri- 
ation to enable a continuance of the wholesome work of said board. 

Banking Law. 

"We favor the representation of the state banks on the state bank- 
ing board and the publication of quarterly statements of the guaranty 
fund and the deposit of guaranty fund in the contributing banks on 
the same conditions that all other state deposits are made in the 
state banks. 

"As pledged in the state constitution, our state legislature has 
provided a banking law, the results of which in actual operation show, 
for the period of two and one-half years that it l:as been in operation, 
that no state bank failure has ever embarrassed business in the state 
or community; that no depositor has ever lost a single dollar, or even 
failed to receive his money upon demand; that the bank deposits of 
our state banks have grown from eighteen million dollars to forty-five 
million dollars; that the burden upon the banks of furnishing the fund 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 367 

for the protection to the people has been many times repaid by in- 
creased volume of business, and that the practical operation of our 
banking system has challenged I he admiration of the business world. 

Usury. 

"We favor an effective usury law, with penalties to insure a proper 
enforcement of the same. 

State and School Land .and School Funds. 

"We believe that as soon as possible and practical the lands held 
by the state for educational purposes should be sold upon termss that 
shall be absolutely fair to the people of this state, preserving the pref- 
erence right to the lessees, guaranteed by the enabling act, to the end 
that such lands should become taxable and be made more valuable 
and productive by the actual owner thereof. 

"That anything that adds to the value of said land and costs time, 
labor or money, shall be classed as an improvement. 

"Improvements on said land shall be appraised at such sum as 
they add to the value of the land for the purpose of sale. 

"In drafting the constitution of the State of Oklahoma, the demo- 
cratic party forever guaranteed protection to the school lands and 
school funds of the state, and unlike a multitude of older states, the 
principal of this fund will forever remain sacred and secure from any 
loss or depletion. 

"It provides that the principal sum shall never be diminished; and 
in the investment of the permanent school fund, we point with pride 
to the fact that the agriculural interests of our state, the principal 
industry upon which the prosperity and comfort of Oklahoma depends, 
should have the first right to use these public moneys upon good 
farm security, and at a fair rate of interest. 

"The result of this policy has been to reduce the rate of interest 
on farm mortgage loans throughout the state by reason of the state 
competition with farm mortgage companies. 

"The management of the school land leasing department assumed 
by the democratic administration from the territorial condition of 
negligence, favoritism and mismanagement, has in the brief period 
of state government, grown in ethciency to where complete records 
of the location, character, description and values of these lands are a 
matter of record, and where all lessees are upon the same basis 
without regard to political favorites, and where today the school child- 
ren of Oklahoma are receiving from these lands rents more than GO per 
cent net money annually in excess of the best year of territorial 
government. 

Public Institutions. 

"Oklahoma Territory has followed the policy of failing to provide 
any institutions for the insane, deaf, dumb, blind, orphans or the state 
convicts, except by contract with othef- states, or private institutions 
within the state conducted by political favorites of members of the 
dominating official family at an extortionate rate. 

"A notable instance is to be the keeping of the insane at a private 
instutition at Norman, at such extravagant rates that the stock owner- 
ship of that institution was considered a special privilege to the fa- 
vored few of the dominating clique. 

"The prisoners of the territory were farmed out to a neighboring 
state at an extravagant rate, producing enormous profits to that state, 



368 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

and a corresponding loss to the taxpayers of Oklahoma. Thete 
methods and unwarranted condition were in face of the fact that tlie 
public building fund had already accumulated approximately six hun- 
dred thousand dollars of funds from which these institutions should 
have long prior thereto been constructed and placed on a basis of 
efficiency and economy, but the democratic party found this fund 
unused, except by a few banks, enjoying special favors at a nominal 
rate of interest. 

Schools. 

"Lavishness in education is economy. The democratic party has 
ever been the friend of efficient public schools, realizing that an 
educated citizenship insures the perpetuity of free government. We 
take pride in the educational system in operation in this state, and 
pledge ourselves to its further development and improvement. To 
this end we favor a law that will provide a school fund raised by the 
state, sufficient, when added to the interest on our invested school 
fund and rentals on school lands, to provide not less than five months 
free school in each district in the state. 

"We also favor making provision for the establishment of graded 
consolidated schools, to the end that children living in the country 
districts may receive the benefits of a high school education in com- 
munities where they live. 

Educational Institutions. 

"The democratic party, in providing institutions of higher educa- 
tion, has has dealt justly with the eastern half of the state in securing 
for it the necessary industrial and preparatory schools necessary to 
provide for that part of the new state, and in providing district agri- 
cultural and mechanical colleges throughout the entire state. 

"The democracy is proud of the educational progress made and 
pledges its continued support to encourage all of these institutions, 
and calls upon our adversaries to point out which one of the institu- 
tions of this state, created by the democratic party, which cares for 
and guards the unfortunate or educates our youth, they would strike 
down, abandon or cripple if they were placed in control of this state 
government. 

Law Enforcement. 

"The democratic party has always stood for a strict and vigorous 
enforcement of all laws and pledges its representatives to a continua- 
tion of that policy. 

Election Laws. 

"The democratic party of Oklahoma stands for a fair primary and 
general election law, with all boards to be bi-partisan and the members 
of the same to receive endorsement of the respective parties pre- 
requisite to appointment. 

Good Roads. 

"We call attention to the laws heretofore passed providing for 
the building of good roads, and we promise to pursue the policy thus 
inaugurated. 

Constitution. 

"We are proud of the constitution which our party has given to 
the people and obligate ourselves to maintain it in its integrity. The 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 369 

enforcement of its provisions should be committed to its friends who 
have steadfastly upheld and defended it and not surrendered into the 
hands of its enemies who have done everything possible to discredit 
it and render it inoperative. 

Corporations. 

"We recognize the fact that corporations are absolutely essential 
to the proper growth and development of the state, and laws should be 
so fashioned and administered as to encourage legitimate corporations 
to do business here. We realize, however, that corporations, like 
individuals, are susceptible of division into two classes, the good and 
the bad. All corporations honestly conducting their business and 
faithfully observing our laws we welcome into our state and pledge 
to them the protection of our laws, but those who violate our statutes 
will find in the democratic party an invincible enemy and an uncon- 
querable foe. 

Anti-Trust Legislation. 

"The laws of Oklahoma on this subject speak for themselves. 
Where laws of similar title in the nation and in many states are but 
an ineffective theory, the anti-trust laws of Oklahoma have proven 
a reality. 

"We note the domestication in Oklalioma of the pipe line com- 
panies, and the successful prosecution of trusts and monopolies; and 
we point to the fact that while the rights of the people are being 
protected, and embarrassing obstacles incident to the first few years of 
law enforcement being removed, yet none of our laws have proven to 
be unjust or unreasonable from the standpoint of the great legitimate 
enterprises, and Oklahoma is rapidly approaching the realization of 
the spirit of a state constitution which says that the weak and the 
strong, the rich and the poor, the laborer and the capitalist shall each 
have equal protection under the laws. 

"The democratic policy in Oklahoma has declared the right of 
every element of our citizenship to be heard with patient consideration 
by the representatives of all classes, and as a result of this policy, 
the agricultural classes and the laboring classes in general in Okla- 
homa have had more to do with the formulating the constitution and 
the laws of our state than in any other constitution or code of laws 
ever written, and yet we challenge our adversaries to point to any 
one of the numerous provisions for the protection and benefit of the 
toiling masses that they would repeal if given the power so to do. 

Taxation. 

"As the party of strict economy the democratic party advocates 
the lowest tax rate possible consistent with good and efficient gov- 
ernment. We believe that taxation should be just, equal and .miform. 

"In this connection we point to the fact that under former repub- 
lican rule the special privilege and franchise class paid only eight 
per cent of the expenses of the territory, while the taxpayers paid 
ninety-two percent, while under present democratic rule the special 
privilege and franchise class pay practically seventy-five percent 
of all expenses of the state government and the taxpayers pay only 
twenty-five per cent. 

Indians. 

"Referring to our citizenship of Indian descent, we view with 
regret the deplorable condition resulting from misgovernnxent through 
Si.?. 26 



370 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

the interior department of the United States. It is a record of pledges 
given the Indian nations by the federal government for a valuable 
consideration and thereafter recklessly and ruthlessly ignored and 
trampled under foot. It is the administration of affairs at long range, 
in most instances through deputies, clerks and subordinates, whose 
purposes have been to enlarge and prolong their selfish opportunities 
at the expense of and to the great embarrassment of our Indian citi- 
zens, and out of this has grown a constant drain upon the property 
of the Indian and a constant embarrassment to his exercise of personal 
control of his property and his person. The policy of this character 
of government has been to magnify the necessity of its importance and 
to live upon the sustenance of our people. The varying and constantly 
changing policies and rules have involved the whole Indian citizen- 
ship and their property in a chaotic condition destructive to the In- 
dian's rights and his property. The United tSates government in its 
greatness in a spirit of justice should immediately right its wrongful 
policy, place the administration of laws in the hands of those unselfish 
enough to faithfully administer that great trust, and where the United 
States government has violated its contracts with our Indian citizen 
justice demands that full compensation be made to every such Indian 
for every dollar of loss and needless expense that has been imposed 
by the violation of such governmental pledges and obligations. There- 
fore, we favor a speedy settlement of all Oklahoma Indian matters; 
the sale of all Indian tribal property; the payment to the Indians of 
all funds belonging to them, free from any charge or cost to the 
Indians as granted them by treaty, and we are opposed to the reopen- 
ing the rolls, whether by the McGuire bill or otherwise, as the same 
would disturb the business interests throughout the state and would 
do more harm than good; and we urge our democratic senators and 
representatives in congress to exercise every honorable means to 
carry out this policy; and we favor the preservation of the property 
rights of all Indian tribes and the protection of the minor Indian 
children from any and all classes of dishonest and unscrupulous 
grafters. 

Will of People Prevail. 

"The democratic party declares that whenever any amendment 
ro the constitution or act initiated by the people is pending for the 
consideration of the people, and for their adoption or rejection, that 
it is not the privilege of any political party to seek to influence such 
election by party control or direction, and, therefore, it declares 
all such measures, to-wit: Prohibition, woman's suffrage and all meas- 
ures initiate by the people, to be free from political dictation and sub- 
jection to the uninfluenced and unprejudiced choice of every voter 
of the state. 

Progress and Prosperity. 

"Contrary to the prophecies and false representations of a sub- 
sidized press at home and abroad, and a corrupt organization mis- 
representing honorable and honest republicans within our state, Okla- 
homa people can truthfully point with pride to a progressive govern- 
ment that has placed us among the leading states of the union, to a 
financial credit without a parallel and to development that has added 
thirty per cent to our manufacturing industries, and multiplied the 
commerce of our state over fourfold within the short space of less 
than three years. 

State Credit. 

The state of Oklahoma points with pride to the fact that it is the 
only new state in half a century which has gone through the first two 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 371 

and a half years of organization uniformity preserving its state credit 
on a par basis, and this has been accomplished in the face of the fact 
that we are the only such state that passed through the first year of 
state government without t^e receipt of any direct taxes from the 
people. 

Natit lal Legislation. 

"Life tenure of public ^^f ;e being born of despotic and irrespon- 
sive power, we therefore fa\or that the term of federal office be 
limited to a reasonable term of years. Be it further resolved, that 
we favor an act of congress that will strip all inferior federal courts 
of all jurisdiction except in cases involving the constitution, laws and 
treaties of the United States and that in all cases where the state 
is a party or the laws of a state are involved no federal courts shall 
have jurisdiction except the supreme court of the United States 
agreeable to the constitution of the United tSates. 

"We favor the election of United States senators by the direct 
vote of the people. 

"We favor an income and an inheritance tax: 

"We favor a revision of the rules of the house of representatives 
so that the power to control and enact legislation shall be taken from 
the speaker and restored to the members. 

"We are opposed to the interference by federal authorities with 
the organizations of laboring men and farmers. 

"We favor a law which will prevent the federal courts from 
annulling any state law until the same has been acted upon by the 
highest tribunal of the state. 

"We oppose a ship subsidy and a central bank. 

"We favor the physical valuation of all railroads. 

"We demand that an eight-hour law be enforced upon all govern- 
ment works. 

"We favor a federal law reqiiiring a trial by jury in all cases of 
indirect contempt. 

"We favor a law prohibiting gambling on stock exchanges and the 
boards of trade in stocks, bonds, and farm products. 

"We favor an honest revision of the tariff by reducing the duties 
to revenue basis, so as to raise the greatest amount of revenue with 
the least burden of taxation upon the masses of the American people, 
and so adjusting the rates of duty as to deal fairly with both producer 
and consumer with regard to the needs of the government. 

"We favor making the tariff as high as possible upon the luxuries 
of life and as low as possible upon the necessities. 

"We favor placing lumber, leather-goods, farm machinery, house- 
hold tools and all trust-made goods upon the free list. 

"We favor the extensipn of the adoption of the fellow servant 
rule to all others engaged in hazardous and dangerous pursuits besides 
those already exempt from that rule in this state." 

"With the laudable achievements mentioned in the foregoing plat- 
form accomplished with honesty of purpose animating us, with the 
confidence of a citizenship which realizes the burdens carried and 
difficulties met, the democracy submits its cause for judgment. Gov- • 
ering a continuance of the good will, confidence and esteem of our 
fellow citizens of all parties, and firm in the determination of securing 
it, we invite and welcome their co-operation in a continuance of a 
reign of law where the rights of all citizens are protected and con- 
served with equal and exact impartiality.

OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM 

(Adopted at Guthrie, June 16, 1910.) 



"The republicans of Oklahoma, assembled in delegate convention 
at Guthrie on June 16, 1910, affirmed their loyal adherence to the prin- 
ciples of their party as expressed in the National platform and exem- 
plified in the administrative acts of a republican president and the 
laws enacted by a republican congress. 

"We believe that President Wm. H. Taft, in his official acts and 
recommendations, is faithfully and successfully carrying out the pledges 
and policies set forth in the declaration of principles upon which he 
was elected, and we take pleasure in endorsing his administration of 
National affairs and in giving him assurance of the continued united 
support of the republican party of Oklahoma. The rugged honesty of 
Mr. Taft, his frankness with the public, and his calm, judicial tempera- 
ment are making an administration which will stand out for great 
public good, and we believe will have the universal approval of the 
American people. 

Stand by Congress. 

"We endorse the record of the present congress and believe, with 
President Taft. that the Payne tariff is the best tariff law ever enacted 
because it reduces the tax on necessities and increases it on luxuries. 
The republican policy of a protective tariff has always brought pros- 
perity to the farmer and manufacturer and employment to the wage- 
earner. The maximum and minimum features of the present law have 
opened the markets of the entire civilized world to the products of 
American indiistry. 

Has Kept Faith. 

"As proof that the republican party has kept faith with the people 
in the fulfillment of pledges, we point to .the railroad bill, the postal 
savings bank bill, the McCall bill providing for the publicity of cam- 
paign expenses, the appropriation for the Taft tariff commission — all 
of which measures will be completed by the present session of 
congress. 

"We extend a hearty welcome home to our former President 
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and commend the movement to make his 
welcome a national demonstration. 

Stands for Labor. 

"The republican party has stood for the farmer and the laborer 
as well as for all clases. The present high prices of the produc^ts of 
the farm are the direct result of the beneficient policies put into effect 
by the republican party. On the soil depends the prosperity of our 
country. When the tillers of the soil are prosperous everybody pros-

pers; then all labor receives its Just reward, and plenty and happiness 
are found among all the people. 

Enacted Anti-Trust Laws. 

"The republican party is the original anti-trust party. It has en- 
acted laws and created the Interstate Commerce Commission for the 
regulation of rates of transportation and the prevention of combina- 
tions of capital inimical to the interests of the public. By the enforce- 
ment of these provisions a number of ti.e great trusts have been put 
out of business and we have confidence that President Taft, if given 
proper support, will, through the measures adopted by a republican 
congress, mete out adequate punishment to all unlawful combinations 
and trusts. 

Improvement of Waterways. 

"We recommend the policy of improvement of the inland water- 
ways and urge that the Arkansas river be included in the plans of the 
utilization of these natural waterways. 

Irrigation, Drainage and Good Roads. 

"We endorse the national policy of reclamation of agricultural 
lands, and believe it should be so extended as to include drainage as 
well as irrigation. We approve the eiforts to secure federal aid in the 
building of good roads. 

Pensions. 

"We note with patriotic pride that our country is more liberal in 
the caring for its defenders than any nation on earth, as evidenced by 
the liberal pension policy pursued in the past, which we endorse. 

Encourage Rural Delivery. 

"We regard the republican policy of rural delivery of mail as one 
of the greatest boons to the farmer, and the rural mail carrier is his 
most valued friend. The high price of farm products, which has 
brought increased prosperity to the farmers, has increased the expense 
of maintaining the rural r-arriers' equipment. We therefore favor an 
adequate allowance in addition to the carriers' salaries, for the meet- 
ing of this expense. 

Arraigns State Administration. 

"We charge that the history of the present democratic state admin- 
istration is a history of extravagance, incompetency and malfeasance 
in office. To prove this let the following facts be submitted to the 
voters of Oklahoma: 

Debt. 

"Democracy has been in charge of the state less than three years, 
and in spite of the fact that the constitution prohibits the debt from 
ever exceeding $400,000, they have issued bonds in the sum of $1,460,- 
000, in addition to outstanding warrant indebtedness in excess of 
$2,000,000 and have mortgaged the public building lands for $2,000,000 
more, while the debt is steadily increasing. 

Taxes. 

"They have collected $3,079,968.89 in direct taxes from the people 
which, according to their own official statements, has been less than 
half of the expense of carrying on the state government. 



374 OKLxVHOMA RED BOOK 

"They have already doubled taxes and enacted laws which will 
further increase the burden of taxation; have levied so many kinds of 
taxes that no man knows when the sheriff will appear with a tax war- 
rant confiscating his property. 

Extravagance. 

"They called a special session of the legislature for the s-ole pur- 
pose of enacting laws to disfranchise citizens of the state at a cost of 
$96,948.00 to the taxpayers and the appropriations of $1,247,746.00 made 
at this session, added to those made at the two previous sessions, 
aggregate $10,237,924.00 of the taxpayers' money. 

Bank Fund Looted. 

"They have looted the bank guaranty fund and manipulated the 
same for political and private gain, refusing even their own state ac- 
countant access to the books, and have failed and refused to prosecute 
the guilty embezzlers of funds and those who have made false entries 
in bank books. 

"They have paid large sums of money illegally to democratic state 
officials in excess of their salaries. 

Funds Misappropriated. 

"They have kept the public funds of the state in banks outside of 
the state in violation of law and good public policy, and have deposited 
the same in amounts in excess of the limit of the law in banks within 
the state. 

"They have expended many thousands of dollars illegally for the 
hiring of private attorneys, detectives, statistical agents, and others. 

"They have violated the spirit and intent of the initiative and refer- 
endum by enacting and amending laws thereto so as to make them a 
farce. , 

Damaged Educational Institutions. 

"They have prostituted the educational institutions of the state 
into political machines, and inaugurated therein an administration of 
mismanagement and extravagance until the people of the state no 
longer have confidence in them, and are sending their sons and daugh- 
ters to outside institutions of learning. 

Violated Constitution. 

"They have violated the terms of the constitution repeatedly, open- 
ly and defiantly. 

Mismanaged Land Office. 

"They have inaugurated a system of mismanagement, extfava- 
gance and incompetency in the Public Land Department, using the 
sacred school funds of the state in violation of law, to hire an army of 
useless employees. They have outraged the rights of the lessees in 
every way possible, harassing them by exorbitant rentals and unfair 
appraisement of improvements, denying them hearings and refusing 
to abide by even their own rules. 

Defied the People. 

"They have continuetj the liquor dispensary system after the peo- 
ple have declared against it. and mismanaged the same so as to in- 
crease the burden of taxation and bring disgrace upon the state. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 375 

* Injured Credit. 

"They have brought reproach upon the fair name of Oklahoma at 
home and abroad, driven capital and immigration from the state, in- 
jured our credit so that private and public securities are a drug on 
the market. 

"They have manipulated the $5,000,000 school fund to further their 
personal interests; have failed and refused to make any public report 
accounting for the same, and have withheld funds from distribution 
among the school districts of the state. 

Interfered With Courts. 

"Tley have interfered with the work of the courts in order to 
thwart justice and stopped the proceedings of grand juries in order to 
save democratic officials from prosecution for crimes committed. 

"They have failed and refused to make proper public reports, or 
to allow the public to have access to their records. 

Trickeci the Farmers. 

"By ])olitical manipulation and chicanery they have taken the 
Board of Agriculture out of the hands of the farmers of the state and 
used it for political purposes. 

Would Steal Election. 

"They have enacted election laws which seek to' prevent a free 
and untrammelled ballot and a fair count, denying tie minority lepre- 
sentation upon election boards, and affording every opportunity to 
manipulate the count and defeat the will of the people. 

"They are attempting to set up a test of suffrage for the negro 
which they dare not submit to themselves. 

Harass the People. 

"They have created a multitude of new offices and sent over the 
state swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their sub- 
stance, and are continuously and illegally paying out in addition large 
sums of money to personal and political henchmen for services ren- 
dered against the best interests of the state and the taxpayers. 

"These are but a few of the acts of incompetence, extravagance, 
mismanagement, bad faith, and violation of promise and pledge for 
which the democratic administration of Oklahoma stands indicted be: 
fore the people. 

Governor Condemned. 

"We desire to specifically condemn an executive as insincere, un- 
safe and dishonest who will squander public funds regardless of the 
purpose for which they are appropriated; condemn a legislature as 
puerile which will not resent it, and endorse the action of the repub- 
lican minority which brought attention to their profligate practices by 
forcing investigation tl'ereof, and making a record of the fact that this 
same executive has openly violated the constitution and laws of the 
state, attempted to usurp the power of the courts and the legislature, 
and abused the power of pardon until even the convicts in the prison 
have lost confidence in his integrity. 



37'6 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

Will Eliminate Machine Politics. 

"The republican party pledges the people that if given power it 
will remedy the many and serious evils existing in the present state 
government, establish public credit, give to every citizen his just and 
equal right, and redeem the honor of the state at home and abroad; 
we will eliminate machine politics in governmental affairs an^ give 
the people a thorough business administration, with the strictest pub- 
lic economy and the lowest possible taxes. 

To Redeem the State. 

"To this end we invite all citizens of this state who believe la 
honest, economical government, stability of public credit, and an equal 
chance for all to join with us in redeeming this state from the abyss 
of degeneration to which the democratic party has taken us. 

Favors Pure Ballot. 

"The republican party has always stood for the purity of the bal- 
lot. The democratic party of the state is criminally attempting to 
subordinate the will of the people to the selfish desires of political 
machinists. We demand a return to the election machinery in force 
prior to statehood; that each political party having state candidates 
he allowed representation on every precinct, county and state election 
board that we may have an honest ballot and a fair count. 

W.arrants Two-Cent Rate. 

"We believe that it can be shown that the trunk line railroads 
doing business in Oklahoma are deriving suflficient revenues from their 
business in this state to warrant the enforcement of the two-cent pas- 
senger rate; and while the federal court could, under the showing 
made to it, render no other decision than it did, in our opinion the 
facts were obtainable and the showing could have been made to have 
prevented the injunction which was grantd, and we condemn the in- 
competency and lack of ability of the State Corporation Commission 
and the democratic administration in failing to properly present the 
state's case to the court, and to make the showing to defeat the claims 
of the railroads to the constitutional immunity. 

School Land Department. 

"We declare for an honest, economical business administration of 
the school land department, one that will protect the interests of the 
school fund and the school children, as well as guarantee to the lessees 
the enjoyment of all his rights and fair treatment at all times. 

"We endorse the action of the republicans in the last legislatura 
and of the Farmers' Union in proposing to loan the public, state and 
school funds by an equal apportionment to the different counties. 

Plea for School. 

"That our population may be drawn from the cities to the country 
and small towns and villages, and that our boys and girls may stay 
upon the farm; we favor legislation that will develop and maintaia 
good schools within the reach of every country boy and girl, made 
easy of access by good roads. 

"We favor placing on the official ballot the party nominess for 
United States senators as advisory to the legislature that they may 
know the will of the majority before exercising the elective function. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATP^ORMS 377 

"We are in favor of abolishing the state dispensary and all ap- 
pointees thereunder and leave the enforcement of the law to the local 
officers. 

For Law Enforcement. 

"Prohibition has been incorporated into the constitution and Is 
now a constitutional enactment. We condemn the democratic state 
administration for non-enforcement of law, and pledge the republlcam 
party to law enforcement. 

Merit, the Test. 

"We pledge the party, if successful at the polls, to eliminate par- 
tisan politics from our school system and that qualification and not 
party affiliation shall be the test for position in the various state 
schools." 



378 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 



SOCIALIST PARTY STATE PLATFORM 



"The socialist party of Oklahoma reaffirms its adherence to the 
principles of international socialism as enunciated in the national plat- 
form of the socialist party. 

"The socialist party of Oklahoma declares its object to be the 
political organization of the working class and those in sympathy with 
it, for the purpose of capturing the powers of government of the state 
of Oklahoma and using this power for the betterment of the condi- 
tions of the workers. 

"The socialist party of Oklahoma demands the scate ownership 
and control of such industries and means of ti-ansportation as are 
collectively used by the people of Oklaloina;. such as the coal and 
mining industries, the oil industry, the cotton ginning and compressing 
and cotto;:, spinning industries: the stock yards, packing and cold 
storage industries, the telephone lines, the interurban electric lines, 
etc.; such industries to be under the democratic management of the 
workers in such industries, and to be operated not for the purpose of 
making profits for the state, but to give to the workers in such indus- 
tries the full social, value of their labor. 

"The socialist party of Oklahoma stands for universal suffrage, 
and advocates the extension of the franchise to women upon the same 
terms as men; and will fight every move having for its object the dis- 
franchisement of the working class, or any part of it, through so-called 
poll tax laws, grandfather clauses, educational, property and residence 
qualifications that have no object other than the gradual taking away 
from the workers the right of franchise; and thus prevent the work- 
ers from securing control of the powers of governmenr. 

"The socialist pa,rty of Oklahoma demands the enactment of laws 
that will effectively give into the hands of the people the use of the 
initiative and referendum. The socialist party charges that the demo- 
cratic administration and the interests it represents, has and is using 
every eiJort to prevent the people from using the initiative and refer- 
endum on any measure, unless such measure is advocated by the capi- 
talist class. The democratic administration has further circumvented 
and evaded the demands of the people, even after the people had voted 
and determined upon such measures by large majorities at the polls. 

"As such measures we cite: 

"The people voted against the sale of the school lands. 

"The legislature immediately after sold part of the school lands. 

"The people initiated a referendum on the Taylor Ribbon Ballot 
election law. The legislature evaded this referendum by passing an 
election law equally as obnoxious as the Taylor law, which repealed 
the Taylor law; and thus took away from the people the right to vote 
on the Taylor law. '•^ 

"The capitalist interests of the state initiated an amendment to 
the constitution to be known as article IX, section 9; and further ini- 
tiated a law to determine the location of the state capital. On these 
measures the democratic governor called a special election so as to 
make these measures easily passed, as it requires but a majority vote 
of the people voting at such election. 



ELECTIONS AND PLATFORMS 379 

"On the other hand, the initiative petition signed by more than 
38,000 voters demanding the right to vote for women upon the same 
terms as men is held up in the courts on the word of one man, one 
of the henchmen of the democratic administration. No special elec- 
tion is called on this measure. It must wait for the general election, 
when it requires a majority of all the people voting at such election 
for the state officer receiving the highest number of votes, to pass this 
measure. 

"The socialist party further demands the enactment of laws pro- 
viding for the right of recall, and such election laws that recognize 
the rights of all political parties taking part in such elections, to 
representation on the election boards, and to a counter at each pre- 
cinct. Such election boards to be elective, and not appointive. 

"The sociafist party demands the repeal of senate bill No. 126, 
which has for its aim and object the taking out of the hands of the 
people the use of the initiative and referendum, by limiting the time 
for the securing of petitions to 60 days, in violation of a constitutional 
provision of 90 days: and which law further gives into the hands of 
the legislature such powers as to make any measure suggested for 
initiation by thera. Easy of passage through an unfair and nefarious 
arrangement of the ballot. 

"The socialist party demands the enactment of a law abolishing 
■professional' guardianship, for the purpose of cutting our court ex- 
penses and lawyer fees, which are now gobbling r.p practically all the 
income from small estates, especially that of Indians in the eastern 
half of the state. 

"The socialist party demands the free administration of justice, 
and the maintenance by the state of families dependent on state and 
county convicts. 

"The socialist party demands the enactment of laws providing for 
state insurance of workers against sickness, accident, and death; so 
as to give to an injured or sick worker, or those dependent upon him, 
compulsory compensation, and relieve him from the necessity of go- 
ing into the courts and sue for compensation, which delays action 
indefinitely, or to such a time as to be of little benefit to the worker. 

"The socialist party demands the establishment of sanitariums for 
the free treatment of tuberculosis and other social diseases. 

"The socialist party stands for everj^ measure that will add to the 
material, intellectual or moral welfare of tlie working class; and as 
the working class of Oklahoma is largely made up of agricultural 
workers, we stand for the following: 

"Farmers' program: 

"As measures calculated to bring into collective property the land. 
and enable every farmer to have the use and occupancy of the land 
sufficient for a home and the support of his family, we hereby advocate 
and pledge our elected officers to the following program. 

Farmers' Program. 
Article I. 

"The retention and constant enlargement of the public domain. 

"By retaining school and other public lands.

"By the purchase of all lands sold for the non-payment of taxes. 

"By the purchase of segregated and unalloted Indian lands. 

"By the retention of leased lands after the expiration of leases 
and the payment of the improvements thereon at an appraised valu- 
ation.

Points of Constitutional Law. 

Congress must meet at least once a year. 

Congress may admit as many new states as desired. 

One state cannot undo the act of another. 

By the Constitution every citizen is guaranteed a speedy trial 
by jury. 

A power which is vested in Congress alone cannot be exercised 
by a state. 

One state must respect the legal decisions and laws of another. 

Congress cannot pass a law to punish for a crime already com- 
mitted. 

A person who commits a felony in one state cannot find refuge 
in another. 

Bills for revenue can originate only in the House of Representa- 
tives, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments. 

Treaties with foreign powers are made by the President and rati- 
fied by the Senate. 

The Territories each have a delegate in Congress, who is allowed 
the privilege of debate, but not the right to vote. 

The Vice-President, who ex-officio presides over the Senate, has 
no vote in that body except in a case of a tie ballot. 

If the President holds a bill longer than ten days, while Congress 
is in session, it becomes a law without his signature. 

An act of Congress cannot become a law over the President's 
veto except on a two-thirds vote of both houses. 

The House of Representatives may impeach the President for any 
crime, but the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. 

Amendments to the Constitution of the United States requires 
a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress and must be ratified by 
at least three-fourths of the States. 

The President of the United States must be 35 years of age; a 
Senator, 30; a Congressman, 2.5; the President must have been a 
resident of the United States fourteen years. 

A naturalized citizen is not eligible to the office of President of 
the United States. A male child born in a foreign land of American 
parents does not lose its American citizenship thereby.

History 

Alfalfa county is in the northern tier of counties, about equally 
distant from the eastern and western border lines. It consists large- 
ly of prairie land, although some sand hills border on the Salt Fork 
stream. The Salt Plain embraces an area of approximately 45,000 
acres of land. The industries of the county are almost entirely agric- 
ultural. In the reorganization of Woods and Woodward counties by 
the Constitutional Convention, the northeastern portion of original 
Woods was given the name Alfalfa, because of the rapid introduction 
of the plant bearing that name. 

The county has 442,490 acres of land listed as taxable farms, and 
a total area of approximately 87.5 square miles.

m.erly as "No- Man's-land." The Kansas line forms the northern bound- 
ary and the Texas line, the southern boundary. Agriculture and 'Jtock 
raising are the principal industries. Sevei\:l irrigation plants are in 
successful operation in the county. Under the provisions of the Organ- 
ic Act of 1890, the "Unassigned Land," was divided into six districts 
and "No-Man's-Land" was known as "District Seven". Di.slrict Seven 
was called "Beaver" after the stream bearing the name, which flows 
through it. Beaver creek is the upper part of the North Canadian 
river and derived its name from the fact that beaver were plentiful 
along its banks for several years. 

The taxable farming area is listed at 586,658 acres, and the total 
area is estimated to be 1890 square miles.

History 

Green county has a history unique and little in common with 
other counties of the state. In the treaty of 1819 with Spain, the 
Red River was made the boundary line between the United States 
and Spanish possessions. Texas become an independent nation in 
1836. Greer was named in honor of a former state official by Texas, 
but some years later the controversy arose between the United States 
and Texas as to which branch of the Red river was the stream in- 
tended in the treaty of 1819. The dispute over the Ownership was 
carried to the United States Supreme Court, which decided in 1895, 
that Greer belonged to the United States, and as such the territory 
was re-organized by act of Congress, approved May 4, 1896, under 
the laws of Oklahoma. The original tract known as Greer included 
parts of Beckham, Harrison and Jackson counties as Avell as the 
present county of Greer, or an area of approximately 1,500,000 acres 
in all. The county now has an area of 1,115 square miles with about 
1500 acres of forest lands. The surface is chiefly prairie land, with 
outcropping bluffs of gypsum along the streams with several granite 
mountains in the eastern part. The principal industries are farming 
and stock raising. General agricultural products are raised.

treaty, relative to a definite rule between the contracting parties, is in the 
like manner approved, and will be ratified in the same form, and in the 
same time, and jointly.

AN ACT to organize the territory of Oklahoma, to establish courts 
in the Indian Territory and for Other Purposes. 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress Assembled: 

Section 1. That all that portion of the United States now known as 
the Indian Territory (except so much of the same as is actually occupied 
by the five civilized tribes, and the Indian tribes within the Quapaw Indian 
Agency, and except the unoccupied part of the Cherokee Outlet), together 
with that portion of the United States known as the public land strip, is 
hereby erected into a temporary government by the name of the Territory 
of Oklahoma. The portion of the Indian Territory included in said Terri- 
tory of Oklahoma is bounded by a line drawn as follows: Commencing at a 
point where the ninety-eighth meridian crosses the Red river, thence by 
said meridian to the point where it crosses the Canadian river, thence along 
said river to the west line of the Seminole country, thence along said line 
to the North Fork of the Canadian river; thence down said river to the 
west line of the Creek country, thence along said line to the northwest 
corner of the Creek country, thence along the north line of the Creek 
country to the ninety-sixth meridian, thence northward by said meridian 
to the southern boundary line of Kansas, thence west along said line to 
the Arkansas river, thence down said river to the north line of the land 
occupied by the Ponca tribe of Indians, from which point the line runs 
so as to include all the lands occupied by the Ponca, Tonkawa. Otoe and 
Missouri, and Pawnee tribes of Indians until it strikes the south line of the 
Cherokee Outlet, which it follows westward to the (east) line of the state 
of Texas, thence by the boundary line of the state of Texas to the point of 
beginning; the public land strip, which is included in said Territory of Okla- 
homa, is bounded east by the one hundredth meridian, south by Texas, west 
by New Mexico, north by Colorado and Kansas. Whenever the interest of 
the Cherokee Indians in the land known as the Cherokee Outlet shall have 
been extinguished and the president shall make proclamation thereof, said 
outlet shall thereupon and without further legislation become a part of 
the Territory 'Of Oklahoma. Any other lands within the Indian Territory 
not embraced within these boundaries shall hereafter become a part of the 
Territory of Oklahoma whenever the Indian Nation or tribe owning such 
lands shall signify to the president of the United States in legal manner 
its assent that such lands shall so become a part of said Territory of Okla- 
homa, and the president shall thereupon make proclamation to that effect. 

Congress may at any time hereafter change the boundaries of said 
Territory, or attach any portion of the same to any other state or territory 
( f the United States, without the consent of the inhabitants of the Territo-v 
hereby created: Provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to 
impair any right now pertaining to any Indians or Indian tribe in said 
Territory under the laws, agreements and treaties of the United States. 
or to impair the rights of person or property pertaining to said Indians, 
or to affect the authority of the government of the United States to make 



528 OKLAHOMA RED BOOK 

any regulation or to make any law respecting said Indians, their lands, 
property or other rights which it would have been competent to make or 
enact if this Act had not been passed. 

Sec. 2. That the executive power of the Territory of Oklahoma shall 
be vested in a governor, who shall hold his office for four years and until 
his successor shall be appointed and qualified, unless sooner removed by 
flie president of the United States. The governor shall reside within 
said Territory; shall be commander-in-chief of the militia thereof; he may 
grant pardons for offenses against the laws of said Territory; and reprieves 
for offenses against the laws of the United States, until the decision of the 
president can be made known thereon; he shall commission all officers who 
shall be appointed to office under the laws of said Territory, and shall take 
care that the laws be faithfully executed. 

Sec. 3. That there shall be a secretary of said Territory, who shall 
reside therein, and hold his office for foyr years, unless sooner removed 
by the president of the United States; he shall record and preserve all the 
laws and the proceedings of the legislative assembly hereinafter constituted, 
and all acts and proceedings of the governor in his executive department; 
he shall transmit one copy of the laws and journal of the legislative assem- 
bly, within thirty days after the end of each session thereof, to the president 
of the United States and to the secretary of the interior, and, at the same 
time, two copies of the laws and journals of the legislative assembly to the 
speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate for 
the use of congress, and in case of the death, removal, resignation, or other 
necessary absence of the governor from the Territory, the secretary shall 
execute all the powers and perform all the duties of the governor during 
such vacancy or absence, or until another governor is appointed and qualified. 

Sec. 4. That the legislative power and authority of said Territory 
shall be vested in the governor and legislative assembly. The legislative 
assembly shall consist of a council and house of representatives. The coun- 
cil shall consist of thirteen members, having the qualifications of voters as 
hereinafter prescribed, whose term of service shall continue two years. The 
house of representatives shall consist of twenty-six members, possessing the 
same qualifications as prescribed for members of the council, and whose 
term of service shall continue two years; and the sessions of the legislative 
assembly shall be biennial and shall be limited to sixty days' duration: 
Provided, however, that the duration of the first session of said legislative 
assembly may continue one hundred a^d twenty days. 

That for the purpose of facilitating the organization of a temporary 
government in the Territory of Oklahoma, seven counties are hereby estab- 
lished, to be known, until after the first election in the Territory, as the 
First county, the Second county, the Third county,, the Fourth county, the 
Fifth county, and the Sixth county, the boundaries of which shall be fixed

may provide.

two or more counties shall select the same name, the county which casts the 



MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION 529 

greatest number of votes for such name shall be entitled to the same, and 
the names receiving the next highest number of votes in the other counties 
shall be the names of such counties. An apportionment shall be made by 
the governor, as nearly equal as practicable, among the several counties 
or districts, for the election of the council and house of representatives, 
giving to each section of the Territory, representation in the ratio of its 
population (.excepting Indians not taxed) as nearly as may be; and the 
members of the council and house of representatives shall reside in and be 
inhabitants of the districts for which they may be elected, respectively. 
Previous to the first election the governor shall cause a census or enumer- 
ation of the inhabitants of the several counties or districts of the Terri- 
tory to be taken, unless the same shall have been taken and published 
by the United States, in which case such census and enumeration shall 
be adopted, and the first election shall be held at such times and places, 
and be conducted in such manner, both as to the persons who superintend 
such election and the returns thereof, as the governor shall appoint and 
direct, and he shall at the same time declare the number of the members of 
the council and the house of representatives to which each of the counties. 
or districts shall be entitled, as shown by the census herein provided for. 
The number of persons authorized to be elected, having the highest number 
of legal votes in each said council districts for members of the council, shall. 
be declared by the governor to be duly elected to the council, and the person 
or persons authorized to be elected having the greatest number of votes for 
the house of representatives, equal to the nuinber to which each county or 
district shall be entitled, shall be declared by the governor to be elected 
members of the house of representatives: Provided, that in case two or 
more persons voted for have an equal number of votes, and in case a 
vacancy otherwise occurs in either branch of the legislative assembly the 
governor shall order a new election; and the persons thus elected to the 
legislative assembly shall meet, at such place and on such day as the gov- 
ernor shall appoint, but after such first election, however, the time, place 
and manner of holding elections by the people, and the apportionment of 
representation, and the day of the commencement of regular sessions of the 
legislative assembly, shall be prescribed by law. Provided, however, that 
the governor shall have power to call the legislative assembly together 
by proclamation on an extraordinary occasion, at any time.

which was declared by the proclamation of the president to be open for 
settlement on the twenty-second day of April, anno domini, eighteen hun- 
dred and eighty-nine, and of that portion of said Territory heretofore 
known as the Public Land Strip, shall be entitled to vote at the first elec- 
tion in the Territory. At every subsequent election the qualifications of

lative assembly, subject, however, to the following restrictions on the power 
of the legislative assembly, namely: First. The right of suffrage and of 
holding office shall be exercised only by citizens of the United States above 
the age of twenty-one years and by persons of foreign birth above that age

ness therein, if the legislative power shall consider such taxes necessary. 
Every bill which shall have passed the council and the house of represen- 
tatives of said Territory shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the 
Governor of the Territory. If he approves he shall sign it, but if not, he 
shall return it with his objections to the house in which it originated, which 
shall enter the objections at large upon their journal and proceed to- recon- 
sider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds of that house shall agree 
to pass the bill. It shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other 
house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two- 
thirds of that house it shall become a law. But in all such cases the vote 
of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, to be entered on the 
journal of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the 
governor within five days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been pre-

of the legislative assembly; and he shall lay off the necessary districts for 
members of the council and house of representatives, and all other officers, 
and whenever a vacancy happens from resignation or death, during the 
recess of the legislative council, in any office which is filled by appoint- 
ment of the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the council, 
the governor shall fill such vacancy by granting a commission, which shall 
expire at the end of the next session of the legislative council. It is further 
provided that the legislative assembly shall not authorize the issuing of any 
bond, scrip, or evidence of debt by the Territory, or any county, city, town, or 
township therein, for the construction of any railroad.
